Europe Asia YL Forum

After several decades of rapid change, the Asian region today plays a prominent role in world politics and the global economy. Therefore, a constructive collaboration between East and West is enormously important for finding answers to the key questions of the future.
With the goal of getting more and more representatives of the younger generation involved in the European-Asian dialogue and of contributing to a better understanding of each other's culture and way of thinking, the BMW Foundation in 2002 launched the Europe Asia Young Leaders Forum. Since then, the Forum has annually brought together up to 40 European and Asian Young Professionals from business, politics, academia, NGOs, and the media, aiming to develop viable solutions to the political, economic, and social challenges of our time and to inspire young leaders active in this geographical area to take social responsibility beyond their professional roles and boundaries.
