World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab The Young Global Leaders Program
The Forum of Young Global Leaders, or Young Global Leaders (YGL), was created by Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum. The YGL, a non-profit organization managed from Geneva, Switzerland, is under the supervision of the Swiss government.
The program was founded as part of the World Economic Forum in 1993 under the name “Global Leaders for Tomorrow” and was renamed Young Global Leaders in 2004. Schwab created the group with 1 million won from the Dan David Prize, and the inaugural 2005 class comprised 237 young leaders.
