Humanity is rapidly moving towards a future where machines and technology are beginning to dominate our daily routines. Whether it be Education, Security, Business or Manufacturing, no aspect of society will be exempt from the continued integration of man and machine. The Youth Global Forum gives young people the chance to develop the skills to adapt to and add value in the modern world. You will learn from a range of experts and industry leaders in workshops and discussions, as well as getting a chance to see Amsterdam and understand its position as a tech hub in Europe and make new friends with an interest in investing in their future around the globe.

If you are between 20-35 studying masters/PhD, working for a start-up or just have a really great business idea apply for be a participant. Attendees can also win a Paid Internship at the International Youth Society of Eco Friendly Renewable Technology in India. All you have to do is submit 200 words of motivation and say how attending would benefit you.

If you want to be in with a chance of winning the 10,000 Euro prize money and scholarship apply to be a project presenter and share details of your project or idea. You’ll get mentorship to work on your proposal before the event and pitch your idea to win.

To celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Youth Global Forum for the first time in its history they are offering two fully funded scholarships for outstanding young leaders to participate and one for a project presenter. This means your flights, food and accommodation are all covered. To be awarded the scholarship submit the application form along with a plan to solve an issue affecting your community today.

Last year over 100 participants from 30 countries developed skills, knowledge and experience in Paris on the theme of Impact Investment. Aurellia Attiope from Ghana returned after winning the Global Youth Forum in 2017 for her idea on Future Cities claimed “this is the greatest opportunity” and the 2018 winner Shinelle Bayard advised she nearly didn’t apply. She explained “If you have a dream you should follow it no matter how afraid you are or no matter how many obstacles are in your way”. If you don’t make it on the scholarship the program is still partially funded and heavily subsidized, so you only need to pay for your flights and 300€ for a participant or 200€ for presenter toward accommodation and the prize pot.

The only thing stopping you from applying is yourself.
