According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), the global youth unemployment rate reached 13.1% in 2013. Looking at age groups, we can see that, in the 15-24 years old range, global youth unemployment in 2013 reached 74.5 million people, with more than 700,000 compared to 2012.

The FW Lab brought together 100 young innovators from across the world and from ALL fields of expertise that had to present their ideas in maximum three minutes, questions from the public included. I had the chance to present my research on building a Global Agricultural Policy in order to end world hunger. I`m not the greatest public speaker so I didn`t explain a complex topic very good in 3 minutes. Continue reading “Breaking the Wall of Innovation Utility”
