The world's most promising and hopeful artists, business persons, public servants, technicians and social workers are invited to join the World Economic Forum's Young Global Leaders (YGL). They join the union and the five-year program, within which they have to think beyond their competence and thus become more influential and more effective leaders.

Each is named for their innovative activities, unconventional approach to problems and the bridges they have built between cultures, businesses, government and civil society.
