The Indo-German Young Leaders Forum is a platform for bilateral exchange of the young and rising generation of India and Germany. The Forum’s goal is to further promote this important geopolitical relationship by
1. Fostering dialogue between young Indian and German leaders from business, politics, science, media and culture
2. Establishing a lasting network of future decision-makers who are engaged and committed to fostering the Indo-German partnership
3. Keeping the exchange alive for future generations
The Indo-German Young Leaders Forum got officially endorsed by Chancellor Merkel and Prime Minister Modi during the joint closing statement of the 4th Indo-German Intergovernmental Consultations in May 2017. It is further supported by a number of renowned personalities from both countries and counts several distinguished ministers, well-known business representatives, and prizewinning researchers from India and Germany in its Advisory Board. Further, the initiative is officially supported by the Indian Embassy in Berlin and the German Embassy in New Delhi.
