Youth Co: Lab Summit 2023 - Bangkok

The Youth Co:Lab Summit 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand, co-organized by UNDP and Citi Foundation, will empower youth by showcasing their innovative solutions to tackle pressing regional challenges. Recognizing young entrepreneurs’ resilience during unprecedented times, the summit aims to support their transformative ideas and leadership as we move towards recovery and beyond achieving our 2030 goals. This will be held from July 12th, 2023, to July 14th, 2023, in Bangkok, Thailand.

Hosted at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok, the Summit by Citi Foundation and UNDP is being held in partnership with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), the Commonwealth Secretariat, CVC Capital Partners, the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the Islamic Development Bank (ISBD).

Theme:

The 2023 Summit is envisioned to highlight, encourage, and celebrate the role of youth in our crucial Decade of Action, aligning on “Inclusive Entrepreneurship”, showcasing and inspiring youth action from underserved communities, as well as youth contributing to solutions to support the most excluded and hardest to reach groups to leave no one behind.

Why Inclusive Entrepreneurship:

Youth Co:Lab prioritizes reaching marginalized communities and supporting social enterprises serving underserved groups through collaborative efforts, tailored mentorship, and bridging opportunities. Together with partners, our goal is to empower young entrepreneurs and foster resilient, peaceful, and sustainable societies, focusing on inclusive entrepreneurship.

Who Will Participate:

The Youth Co:Lab Summit will be a by-invite-only, engaging over 200 youth social entrepreneurs, government delegates, private sector partners, academia, and other youth leaders and community partners across 28 countries from various sectors of the youth empowerment agenda.
