Deloitte and One Young World: A Decade of Purpose-Driven Leadership
Our partnership develops young professionals into future leaders capable of solving the world’s toughest challenges.
Igniting the Power of Young Changemakers
Since 2011, Deloitte has proudly partnered with One Young World (OYW)—a UK-based nonprofit that has connected over 20,000 young leaders from 190+ countries. Often referred to as the “Davos for young leaders”, OYW’s annual summit brings together the brightest minds to tackle global challenges, guided by world-renowned counselors.
In 2025, Deloitte is proud to be the Opening Ceremony Ribbon Sponsor at the OYW Summit in Munich, Germany from 3–6 November. We’re sending a global delegation of ~60 participants and hosting a series of leadership development experiences before, during, and after the summit.

Each year, the summit is hosted in a different city—selected through a competitive bid process shaped by input from OYW Ambassadors. Past host cities include Belfast, Bogotá, Johannesburg, and Bangkok. The four-day experience includes powerful speeches, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities designed to equip young leaders with the tools to drive change.
At Deloitte, we believe we have a responsibility to be a force for good and help lead the way in today’s increasingly complex world. Our OYW partnership develops young professionals into leaders who can address local and global challenges. Together, we’ve supported hundreds of Deloitte professionals, external scholars, and social entrepreneurs who are driving progress in their communities and industries.
This partnership also creates opportunities to engage our clients—many of whom are fellow OYW sponsors—around shared values and purpose-driven leadership.

On the Global Stage
Deloitte leaders have taken the stage at OYW to share insights on purpose, innovation, and inclusive leadership. We seek to elevate the voices and spotlight young delegates, recently taking stage with innovators harnessing AI for positive impact and bringing educational opportunities to their communities.
Our sessions and activations—from city branding campaigns to immersive workshops—bring Deloitte’s values to life in striking, creative ways. We’ve also collaborated with OYW at global convenings such as the UN General Assembly week and COP, amplifying young voices on the world’s most prominent stages.
Supporting Youth-Led Innovation
Deloitte has proudly sponsored both Lead2030 challenges and scholarships through OYW. Lead2030 is a flagship grant program that supports youth-led solutions to global challenges. Winners receive funding and mentorship to scale their impact. Scholarships provide fully-funded access to the summit for social entrepreneurs and changemakers.
