Add to Preferred SourcesEstablished in 2013, the Youth Summit is an annual event hosted by the World Bank Group (WBG) to engage with youth globally on the most pressing topics facing our generation.
The primary goals of the Summit are: to empower youth to explore innovative ideas to tackle emerging development challenges, provide youth with the tools to build and engage in impactful projects, and promote dialogue between youth, the WBG, and other key stakeholders globally.
The 2019 Youth Summit will be a two-day interactive event, taking place at the World Bank Headquarters in Washington, DC. The theme for the 2019 Summit is Smarter Cities for a Resilient Future.
This year’s World Bank Youth Summit will provide a platform for youth around the world to contribute to the global discussion and to actively learn how to develop a concept into a smart city solution. These solutions will seek to address problems that lie at the intersection of technology, infrastructure, human development, and sustainable development for cities, which will impact the future of our youth and generations to come.
