Welcome to a Unique Community

The Forum of Young Global Leaders is a unique, multistakeholder community of exceptional young leaders who share a commitment to shaping the global future. Each year the World Economic Forum identifies 100-200 extraordinary individuals, drawn from every region of the world. Together, they form a powerful international community that can dramatically impact the global future.

“The feeling that you get with the first engagement with the YGL community is of walking into a room where everyone wants to change the world and that they are not simply thinking about it, they are doing something powerful and significant about it.”
Alvaro Rodriguez Arregui, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, IGNIA Partners, Mexico (YGL honoured in 2005)
