Youth Summit 2025 to Be Held at AUC New Cairo Campus

The Youth Summit will take place at The American University in Cairo's (AUC) New Cairo campus on September 19th and the 20th, 2025, bringing together participants from across the region for a programme centred on empowerment, opportunity, and decision-making. Held under the theme ‘The Leap,’ the summit positions Generation Z as active contributors to transformation. The agenda includes workshops, mentorship opportunities, structured debates, and fireside chats, designed to build resilience and encourage innovation. Panels will adopt a “crossover” format, pairing younger voices with established leaders from various industries to foster cross-disciplinary insights. Programme design has been informed by surveys with more than 1,000 young people from the region, with four key topics shaping discussions. Subthemes will be curated to provide practical outcomes relevant to real-world challenges. Beyond the September event, the Youth Summit is part of a longer-term platform, with annual summits complemented by monthly workshops, mentorship programmes, and community initiatives. These activities aim to expand career knowledge, provide access to funding for founders, and create networks across industries.
