More than any other demographic, youth have the greatest potential to drive innovation and economic growth. Accounting for one third of the world’s population, they possess the capacity to create new paradigms of global prosperity and the ability to solve many of the seemingly intractable challenges of this emergent century. In order to deliver on their full potential, this younger generation must be equipped with the proper tools and opportunity. The 2013 Concordia Summit convened the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to create innovative solutions and bring existing initiatives to scale in order to serve and support our global youth population. Participants heard key insights from leading experts from around the world on how to leverage the strength of public-private partnerships and empower our next generation of global citizens.
