Aspiring Leaders

The Aspiring Leaders represent the incoming generation of business leaders, both from the start-up and the corporate world. Through the cross-generational dialogue at the St. Gallen Symposium they sharpen the decision making by bringing the perspective of the middle generation. They form an interdisciplinary network which creates the opportunity to mingle with peers and allow new insight. The symposium creates inspiration for innovative and transformative ideas and leads to action in their corporate or own company.
