The Global Alliance for YOUth, founded a decade ago by Nestlé, announced a new partnership with the Global Shapers, an initiative by the World Economic Forum, and Accenture to further support youth innovation. Starting in 2024, each year, innovators from the Global Shapers’ community will be invited to apply for support to accelerate their breakthrough ideas.
This is an important milestone for the Global Alliance for YOUth that has extended its outreach and impact and provided more than 40 million opportunities for young people around the world in the past decade.
The Global Shapers Community was established by Klaus Schwab, Chairman and Founder of the World Economic Forum in 2011. It is a network of inspiring young people under the age of 30 working together to address local, regional, and global challenges. The community includes more than 10 000 members in more than 500 city-based hubs in over 150 countries and territories around the world. In each city, teams of Shapers self-organize to create projects that address the needs of their community.
