Join us to be part of a space where emerging leaders collaborate, innovate, and drive global impact.

The Global Leadership Challenge (GLC) returns this December, bringing together 100 emerging leaders for an intensive, impact-driven experience designed to shape the future of responsible leadership.

Running 11–15 December 2025, this five-day programme, delivered in partnership with the St. Gallen Symposium, offers participants the opportunity to explore new models of leadership, address real-world challenges, and collaborate across cultures and generations.

Participants will:

  • Engage in meaningful dialogue with senior leaders and global decision-makers
  • Work in diverse teams to develop solutions to urgent global issues
  • Join a vibrant, international community committed to creating positive change

With its focus on co-creation, a holistic approach to addressing complex challenges, and responsible leadership, the GLC provides an environment where emerging leaders can stretch their capabilities and drive lasting impact.
