Youth Speak Forum 2026

Youth Speak Forum 2026 brings together ambitious young people, industry leaders and international organisations to shape the future of sustainable innovation and inclusive development.

In collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the forum focuses on SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, exploring how entrepreneurship, industrial transformation and sustainable growth can unlock real opportunities for the next generation.

Throughout the day, delegates step into discussions, challenge perspectives, share ideas and co-create solutions alongside experts and decision-makers. Workshops, interactive sessions and networking moments are designed to give youth a voice - and the confidence to use it.

If you are a student, young professional or emerging leader ready to engage with global challenges, expand your network and see how new opportunities open in front of you, this forum is for you.

Come prepared to speak.
Come ready to connect.
Leave with clarity, connections and momentum.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
