Testimonials
“Youth Leaders Davos provided a transformative immersion into global leadership. I gained perspective into engineering within Formula 1, explored the future of AI with Meta, cultivated diplomatic connections, and experienced moments ranging from intimate discussions over private dinners to serendipitous exchanges on a train with remarkable people. The serendipity of these encounters was as impactful as the formal programming, leaving me with lessons and relationships that will endure well beyond Davos.”

“I highly recommend Youth Leaders Davos for ambitious young leaders looking to accelerate their professional portfolio and networking skills. I felt inspired by global passion-driven individuals at invitation-only events such as the AI Summit, Future House, and Equality Lounge. The magic was also in the spontaneous moments: debates at the Hard Rock Hotel, advice shared on a train restaurant, and midnight noodles in a co-living space.”

“The WEF Week program that I attended in Davos profoundly impacted my life. I was able to connect with individuals who shared similar goals; discuss in-depth social issues (even participated in a climate justice protest together), and learn survival techniques such as starting a fire in a snowy forest. These experiences have positive lasting influence on my life.”
— Jessica Du, Final year student at University of Chicago
“An eye-opening, ‘think different’ experience like no other. From industry leaders to activists to thinkers across every field, hearing them share their passions and warmth - made every dialogue truly meaningful. I left Switzerland feeling more driven to make positive impact with my new knowledge and connections. The people I met will help me continue my work to realize my life goals for years to come!”
