The World Economic Forum is an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.<\/p>\n

Incorporated as a not-for-profit foundation in 1971 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the Forum is tied to no political, partisan or national interests.<\/p>\n

The Global Shapers Community, once fully created, will enable Gen Y (youth 20-30 years of age) to be a voice for the future in local, regional and global thought processes and a catalyst of entrepreneurship in the global public interest. To achieve its mission, the Global Shapers Community is built on a network of local hubs located in each major city\/region in the world and interacts and collaborates with the other members and communities of the World Economic Forum, including leaders from business, politics, academia, civil society, science, media, etc.<\/p>\n

You will also participate in conferences and community events and travel abroad depending on the needs.<\/p>\n
