The Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) is proud to present this report, summarising over 8,500 young leaders’ perspectives from 51 Asian and European countries on the key societal challenges of our times, and how technology could be deployed to address them. The Report addresses two foundational questions crucial for shaping a more sustainable, digitally integrated future:
→ How can societies within Society 5.0 benefit from the inclusion, support, and engagement of young people in technology-driven leadership roles?
→ How can those in positions of power support young people on their leadership journeys in a world increasingly defined by Society 5.0?
This report is part of the 5th ASEF Young Leaders Summit (ASEFYLS5) project, which primarily aims at creating people-to-people connections, but also fuels conversations with evidence-based intellectual inputs, such as this report.
The recommendations and insights in this report strive to ignite conversations among influential individuals within their countries, organisations, educational institutions, and communities, shedding light on the best ways to empower
aspiring young leaders.
