Salzburg Global Seminar started The Salzburg Global Forum for Young Cultural Innovators (YCI) in 2014, which is a ten-year project launched to engage fifty of the world’s most dynamic young creative changemakers every year. Because young innovators who work in the sectors related to the culture and arts sector provide some of the most visionary new impulses for social improvement and sustainable development around the globe today. These innovators change the way we see and interact with each other. Young artists, creative entrepreneurs, and cultural leaders have demonstrated creative vision, talent, and energy required for our societies to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
