THEME: Powering Progress: Youth Leading the Digital Transformation

The WBG Youth Summit 2024 spotlights youth leveraging technology to address development challenges. With a focus on Digital Access and Inclusion, Artificial Intelligence, and Sustainable Technology for a Livable Planet, we’re championing fresh perspectives:

Youth in Fragility, Conflict, and Violence (FCV) affected areas
Women in Tech
Rural Youth
By amplifying these voices, we’ll showcase pioneering ideas on the world stage, tackling the digital divide and promoting inclusive, sustainable development.

Why it matters:

In today’s dynamic landscape, young people face myriad challenges. Digital technologies offer innovative solutions, from climate action to economic empowerment. Yet, a digital divide persists, with 2.6 billion people offline globally. The WBG Youth Summit 2024 addresses this gap, discussing digital access and AI-driven solutions.

Join us as we empower youth to shape the digital future, bridging divides and driving progress towards a more inclusive, sustainable world.
