Runway to Shape Innovation

Global Shapers Beijing II Hub will convene a half-day open-style conference of young leaders from across the city to explore the changing role of youth in innovative societies. Join us to share your voice and perspective, learn about future trends, and connect with like-minded people.

"The inexorable shift from simple digitization (the Third Industrial Revolution) to innovation based on combinations of technologies (the Fourth Industrial Revolution) is forcing companies to reexamine the way they do business. The bottom line, however, is the same: business leaders and senior executives need to understand their changing environment, challenge the assumptions of their operating teams, and relentlessly and continuously innovate." -- Klaus Schwab, Founder, Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum

The Fourth Industrial Revolution will define the lifestyles, careers, and creative opportunities of today's "internet generation" and rising youth.

How are young people adjusting to the initial changes and new possibilities brought about by the 4IR? What are their ambitions to inform, build, and create? Join us September 9th as we explore these ideas.
