2026 Program Highlights
Week of World Economic Forum
WEF Open Forum
For over half a century, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has united world leaders to tackle global challenges. In 2025, nearly 350 government leaders and 60 heads of state joined forces in Davos to shape the world’s agenda.
In 2026, the theme—Public-Private Collaboration—calls for bold ideas on innovation, sustainability, and the future of society.
Youth Leaders Davos (YLD), germinated in 2021, is where the next generation steps in. Held during WEF Week, YLD is a curated program empowering young changemakers to engage with today’s leaders and co-create tomorrow’s solutions.
As YLD members, participants gain access to the parallel events as well as WEF Open Forum—a unique arena where government officials, visionary entrepreneurs, artists, CEOs, and civil society leaders exchange ideas with the public. Conversations span geopolitics, economics, the environment, leadership, and the arts—all through the lens of shaping a better future.
At YLD, youth voices don’t just join the dialogue—they drive it.
