Social Business Challenge Munich

This summer Social Business Challenge Munich will open One Young World’s stage to the winner of Social Business Challenge, so they can present to an influential audience from all over the world: OYW delegates, ambassadors, local and global leaders, activists, personalities and corporates. In the past years, they included inspiring personalities like Jane Goodall, Muhammad Yunus, Paul Polman, Emma Watson or Meghan Markle.

The Social Business Challenge is an initiative of the Munich One Young World-Ambassadors in cooperation with the City of Munich. A specially appointed jury will decide which applicants are chosen for the presentation as part of the One Young World 2021 Munich Summit.
