Japan Youth Summit () 2024 is an initiative program by the Youth Break the Boundaries Foundation, aspires to bring together outstanding young minds to collectively address future challenges and propose innovative solutions. Beyond individual brilliance, collaboration takes center stage, encouraging the commitment of young generations to collaborate for shared and improved goals.

In its inaugural edition, the Japan Youth Summit embraces the theme: "Pioneering Innovation for Sustainable Futures." This theme not only encourages collaboration across diverse backgrounds and sectors but also urges young leaders to leverage their skills in contributing to the goals of sustainable development.

Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the summit focuses on four key sectors directly linked to specific SDGs. "Innovation in Education" addresses the pivotal role of education in sustainable development (SDG 4). "Technology for Health" underscores the intersection of technological advancements and healthcare improvements (SDG 3). "Sustainable Economic Growth" highlights the importance of inclusive economic development (SDG 8). Lastly, "Technology Infrastructure and Sustainable Cities" emphasizes the transformative potential of technology in creating resilient, innovative, and sustainable urban environments (SDG 9 and SDG 11). The Japan Youth Summit aims to explore innovative solutions within these sectors, contributing to the broader mission of achieving the SDGs for a sustainable and equitable future.

The tagline "Innovate for Tomorrow" inspires collective action, inviting youth from diverse backgrounds to contribute their ideas and efforts to shape a more promising and sustainable future. As today's youth carry the torch forward, this summit becomes a pivotal movement toward positive and sustainable change, encouraging innovative contributions for a better tomorrow.

Youth Break the Boundaries (YBB), an impactful non-governmental organization (NGO), focuses on the holistic development and empowerment of young individuals, striving to cultivate outstanding future leaders with a strong identity, character, and noble values.

YBB consistently introduces diverse innovations in youth activities to ensure the steady character development of the younger generation. Since 2017, YBB has successfully organized the International Youth Summit in Istanbul, maintaining a warm and engaging theme resonating with the youth. Today, YBB proudly stands as one of the world's largest youth collaboration platforms, hosting various activities and boasting a network of thousands of alumni.

In the pursuit of shaping youth character consistently, YBB continues to pioneer diverse innovations in youth activities across different countries. In 2024, YBB extends its reach to Japan, hosting its first summit with a dedicated focus on fostering youth innovation for a brighter future.

The Japan Youth Summit (JYS) program is designed to facilitate the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and a sense of urgency among young individuals, addressing future challenges that demand innovative solutions from the younger generation. This initiative aims to contribute to a better life and world through the collective efforts of the youth.

Selected youths will gain insights from diverse global perspectives, fortifying networks worldwide. We aspire for delegates to glean the utmost benefit from this program, ensuring a substantial step forward not just in sharing ideas but also in propagating the advantages through the innovations of the younger generation.
