The annual One Young World Summit brings together the most valuable young talent from global and national companies, NGOs, universities and other forward-thinking organisations. Delegates meet and make lasting connections with peers from almost every industry, sector and country. No youth led movement outside of the Olympic Games represents as many nationalities as the One Young World Summit.

During the Summit delegates debate, formulate and share innovative solutions to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. They hear and are heard by world leaders acting as One Young World Counsellors. Past Counsellors include Justin Trudeau, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Mary Robinson, Bob Geldof, Kofi Annan, Sir Richard Branson, Emma Watson, Professor Muhammad Yunus, and Arianna Huffington.

Known as the International City of Peace and Justice, The Hague is recognised for its contribution to a peaceful world over the past century. Home to the International Court of Justice, Permanent Court of Arbitration and more than 200 international organisations fostering a just and peaceful world, The Hague sets a global stage for young leaders working towards a fair, sustainable and inclusive future.

If you are a leader aged 18 – 30 with a passion for global issues and a track record of making a significant impact in your community, country or organisation, then you could be part of next year’s One Young World delegation.

On 19-20 October 2018, Denmark will gather Heads of States and Government, leaders of international organizations, businesses, academia, and the civil society at the first global P4G Summit to form a powerful coalition for sustainable growth through innovative partnerships.

The P4G Summit will be a place for developing and showcasing partnerships of large-scale impact. Whether it is partnering through new financing model to address the shortage of water, creating new models for mobility in megacities, implementing new food production techniques to address the food crisis, scaling energy optimizing of buildings, or developing innovative solutions for addressing plastic waste. Partnership facilitation will be a key part of the summit.

Thematically, the P4G Copenhagen Summit 2018 will have an overarching theme of cities as increasingly important center of economic activity. In the very near future increased urbanization is expected to trigger an enormous demand for new sustainable solutions.

The P4G Copenhagen Summit marks an important first step in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, but success is not a given. As the partnerships emerge it will be critical to move fast to define process and progress for each partnership, because in changing the world, 12 years is a sprint.

In light of the success of the Positive Innovation Club Sparknews created 2 years ago in Paris, we are launching a Hong Kong edition and I am very happy to invite you to the opening ceremony on October 23rd 2018.

The purpose of the Club is to gather business leaders who believe there is a real imperative for companies to think about their positive impact on society and the environment. At the Club, our members discover upcoming big business ideas, and concrete local solutions to global issues.

We believe business leaders worldwide can benefit from what we offer, which has lead us to launch the Hong Kong Club, along with PALO IT, an international consultancy specialized in human-centered design, agile software development and the transformation of forward-thinking companies.

Dr Allan Zeman, chairman of LKF Group, will be our keynote speaker for this first evening. Six social entrepreneurs will also pitch their disruptive projects. You will then have the opportunity to interact with them.

If being one of the first members of the Honk Kong Club makes sense for you, please find attached a complete presentation of the Club and register here !
