These young leaders have taken up the challenge of initiating important conversations and change in their respective cities

As a community-led platform, all Gen.T Connect initiatives are driven by a select group of Gen.T Leaders of Tomorrow from across the region. 

Serving as ambassadors for their respective cities—Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing—they initiate and engage in discussion groups with other young leaders, driving forward meaningful conversations and change on issues impacting Asia. 

Here are our first four Gen.T Connect ambassadors.
