The St. Gallen Symposium is one of the world’s leading initiatives for cross-generational dialogue. The goal is to promote more responsible, long-term leadership, by fostering meaningful and critical engagement between generations. Founded in 1969, the initiative is driven by a team of about 25 students, the International Students’ Committee, and a team of professionals, the St. Gallen Foundation for International Studies. The annual main symposium brings together around 700 senior executives from business and policy with 200 young change-makers from around the world at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. Through various impact projects, the organisation actively promotes sustainability and long-term thinking through intergenerational leadership.
The St. Gallen Symposium and NIM
NIM and the St. Gallen Symposium have been cooperating since 2014 on the study “Voices of the Leaders of Tomorrow". For the study, young top talents from many countries are asked about economic and social issues every year. The study is published annually for the St. Gallen Symposium, and its thematic focus is set anew every year.
