The World Bank Group Youth Summit returns for its 12th edition, bringing together young people (ages 18-35) to tackle urgent global challenges. This year’s focus is on digital transformation, creative industries, and youth-led innovation for a livable planet.

The Summit’s mission is to:

• Empower youth to explore innovative solutions to development challenges
• Equip youth with the tools to create and participate in impactful projects
• Foster dialogue between youth, the World Bank Group, and other key global stakeholders.

Join us on May 19-20 for key sessions broadcast here, including a civil society roundtable, plenaries on data-driven solutions and youth-led innovations in agriculture, a creative industries session, and a fireside chat on digital currencies. All sessions will be in English with interpretation in العربية, Français, and Español.
