It aims to mobilize 20,000 Indigenous young women and men to co-create knowledge-led enterprises, promote cultural identity, and build solutions for inclusive and ecological development. With a strong leadership team and a mission rooted in research, advocacy, and intergenerational dialogue, the Forum serves as a platform for youth-led research, mentorship, entrepreneurship, and collaboration. It connects youth with experienced researchers to foster indigenous innovation and create access to dignified jobs.
