      Why we created Leaders 2050

      We launched Leaders 2050 with a clear purpose: to give voice to the next generation and support them in shaping a better future.

      • Young professionals play a vital role in driving positive change

        Today’s young leaders will spend their careers tackling some of society’s biggest challenges – from climate change to inequality. Yet their perspectives are often underrepresented. Leaders 2050 exists to empower the voice of young professionals and help them turn ambition into action.

      • Systemic change requires bold leadership in a rapidly shifting world

        The forces shaping our future such as technological disruption, geopolitical shifts, environmental stress and social inequality are deeply connected. Solving them cannot happen in isolation. Leaders 2050 supports the next generation in understanding these dynamics and working across boundaries to design lasting and meaningful impact.

      • Collaboration is key to real impact

        Solving global challenges requires collaboration on a scale we've never seen before. That’s why Leaders 2050 brings together future leaders from diverse sectors, industries, and cultures – to build strong networks, exchange ideas, and work toward a common goal: a more sustainable, inclusive world.
