Youth delegates from across the Asia-Pacific region will attend the online APEC Voices of the Future 2021. The event will be broadcast globally, with delegates hearing from high-profile speakers and having their own voices heard on the issues that matter most to the youth of today.
The 2021 programme will encapsulate four key themes: International Cooperation to Combat COVID-19, A Digital Future, A Greener Future, and A Future for All.
The programme will also give nominated delegates the opportunity to attend the virtual APEC CEO Summit 2021. The APEC CEO Summit 2021 is the most important meeting of business and government in the Asia-Pacific, where thought leaders and world business executives engage with each other and with APEC leaders to seek solutions to the biggest challenges and opportunities of our times.
