Every year, the St. Gallen Symposium invites students from around the globe to confront one critical question — and answer it with bold, original thinking. This year’s challenge:

Global power is shifting. What’s your innovative idea to address a related risk or opportunity?”

Over 1,000 students worldwide took up the call, offering visionary ideas for a rapidly changing world. From this outstanding pool, three finalists rose to the top — thanks to the depth, creativity, and clarity of their thinking.

During the Award Ceremony, the three finalists took the stage to present their essays and exchange ideas in front of a live audience.
