Global Leaders for Tomorrow

The Global Leaders for Tomorrow was an award granted by the World Economic Forum for successful decision-makers under the age of 38 who are “committed to social, environmental and economic issues in society.”^{1) 2)}

The program was reconstituted in 2003 as The Forum of Young Global Leaders. According to economist Richard Werner, who was selected in 2003, the program was closed down and rebooted as a more controllable group because there started to be too many people asking difficult questions in the forum.³⁾ Some of the select Global Leaders for Tomorrow also continued in the The Forum of Young Global Leaders.
