Youth and Future Leadership

Hosted by CATALYS(C)ST and ReGeneration 2030


Step forward or step aside! Young people across the globe are taking matters into their own hands — questioning today’s methods, shaking up today’s leadership, and fuelling a culture of change! What can we learn from our youth, what does your future target group value today, and what will define next generation market dynamics? This session will look at education, activism, entrepreneurship, future leadership and youth culture. Buckle up, folks — it’s time to listen to our future.


This sessions is moderated by Linda Weiss, CATALY(C)ST, Ella Turta, ReGeneration2030 and Kim Hjerrild, Lifestyle & Design Cluster
