Theme and subthemes: Under the overarching theme “Driving Progress: Youth Leading the Digital Transformation,” the Summit will highlight the use of technology by young people to address development challenges. Aligned with the World Bank’s Digital Development Practice, the event will delve into three main sub-themes:
- Digital Access and Inclusion
- Artificial intelligence
- Sustainable Technology for a Habitable Planet
Why it's important: In today's rapidly evolving world, digital technologies offer unparalleled opportunities to address global challenges and drive progress. However, a significant digital divide persists, hindering inclusive development. With 2.6 billion people offline worldwide, bridging this gap is crucial. The 2024 Youth Summit will focus on digital access, AI, and sustainable technology to promote inclusive and sustainable development and empower marginalized voices.
Competition of sales arguments: The WBG Youth Summit 2024 sales pitch competition presents a unique opportunity for young change agents to showcase their innovative solutions. Open to individuals aged 18-35 worldwide, this competition seeks projects addressing digital inclusion, AI, and sustainability. Finalists will receive mentorship, networking opportunities, and a global platform for their solutions.
