A young entrepreneur from Pakistan represented the country at the World Youth Development Forum 2024, held in Beijing and Changsha, China. The forum, hosted by the All-China Youth Federation, gathered 100 emerging leaders under the theme “Together for a Better Future.”
This year’s event focused on cultural exchange, social entrepreneurship, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Among the Pakistani delegates were Shahzad Murtaza, Ammad Rasheed, Maoz Awan, Resham, and the CEO of Designs Crunch and Innovative Nozzle, who shared insights from their entrepreneurial journeys.
Global Collaboration for a Shared Future:
The World Youth Development Forum 2024 served as a platform for global unity and innovation. Young leaders from diverse countries came together to discuss ideas, build connections, and collaborate on solutions to pressing global issues.
“The energy, passion, and vision of every delegate were inspiring,” said the CEO of Designs Crunch. “When young minds unite, real change becomes possible.”
Through interactive sessions and cultural activities, delegates explored how technology, creativity, and youth-driven innovation can build a more inclusive and sustainable future.
A Glimpse into China’s Innovation and Culture:
The event offered participants an opportunity to experience both China’s historical richness and technological advancement. In Beijing, delegates visited historic landmarks and engaged with local entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, Changsha, known for its motto “Changsha Never Sleeps”, provided a glimpse of modern China’s vibrant innovation ecosystem.
Attendees observed cutting-edge developments in artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and smart city infrastructure. These examples highlighted how China is using innovation to tackle global challenges, aligning closely with the forum’s mission.
Lessons for Pakistan’s Future:
The visit inspired delegates to consider how similar innovations could be implemented in Pakistan. The CEO emphasized how valuable these insights were for their two startups, Designs Crunch and Innovative Nozzle.
“We believe that technology is not just about business growth,” the CEO noted. “It’s about solving real problems, creating impact, and improving lives.”
Returning home, the team aims to apply the knowledge gained from the forum to promote sustainability, tech-based design, and social innovation in Pakistan.
Youth Empowerment Through Unity and Innovation:
The World Youth Development Forum 2024 reinforced a simple but powerful message—youth can lead change when empowered through education, collaboration, and innovation. The Pakistani delegation left China not only with memories but also with a renewed commitment to use their platforms for the greater good.
As global cooperation becomes increasingly vital, platforms like this forum serve as a beacon of hope for a more inclusive, tech-driven, and sustainable world.
