The WBG Youth Summit 2024 Pitch Competition presents an exciting opportunity for young visionaries to exhibit their groundbreaking solutions aimed at tackling global issues. Available to individuals worldwide aged 18-35, this competition offers a vibrant stage for showcasing your ideas to a global audience through compelling pitch decks. The focus of the Pitch Competition will centre on impactful technologies addressing challenges faced by youth in FCV-affected areas, women in the tech sector, and the digital inclusion of rural youth. With the world rapidly transitioning to a technology-driven era, the imperative to reduce vulnerabilities and socio-economic gaps in the digital landscape becomes more pronounced.
Submissions from diverse backgrounds and fields are encouraged, with a particular emphasis on themes such as bridging the digital divide, leveraging artificial intelligence for positive change, and promoting sustainable technology. Those shortlisted in Stage 2 will receive valuable feedback on their pitch decks and may have the opportunity to refine their presentations.
