The 2026 Acceleration Week for Global Youth Development Program is held from June 11 to 17 in Shanghai and Wuhan. It provides a practical platform for young practitioners dedicated to development to showcase their programs, elevate their capacities, and expand cooperation.

From optimizing battery charging to microplastic monitoring, young entrepreneurs across Asia, Europe and Africa are tackling real-world problems with technology. CGTN's Yang Xinmeng invites them to share their ongoing projects, discuss their motivations, predict future trends, and share their their experience and feelings in participating in this program. See how today's youth identify opportunities, define value, and drive social change through innovation.
