The Gooddler Social Impact Youth Summit inspires a new generation of technology-oriented youth to invest their entrepreneurial brainpower into solving the world’s acute humanitarian problems.

Set annually by Gooddler Foundation (501(c)3) jointly with the United Nations, the Summit is a vibrant forum for university and high school student leaders to get challenged, learn, and connect with a global community of changemakers.

The Summit brings together 500+ students to interact with successful entrepreneurs and corporate leaders and encourage the new generation to invest their knowledge and drive into the matters of social entrepreneurship.

Today’s youth are tomorrow’s executives and industry leaders. Gooddler Youth Summit 2017 teaches to use innovation and technology to tackle development challenges. Using the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an entry point, the Summit aims to take up social entrepreneurship as an avenue for the driven young leaders to solve global issues.

Today’s teenagers and young adults (commonly known as “Generation Z”) are the most attractive and fastest-growing consumer market. This is the generation of consumers that demands not only the reasonably priced high-quality products/services but who are also extremely sensitive to the vendor’s social responsibility. In fact, they are already driving innovation in science and technology, making conscious choices and forcing companies, organizations and governments to become more socially and environmentally responsible.


* The Gooddler Foundation is a non-profit organization (501(c)3) that was established as a resourceful networking platform for young people to grow up with the desire to contribute to common good and become a part of solutions to the most pressing global issues.
