The Munich Young Leaders (MYL) network is a joint project of Körber-Stiftung and the Munich Security Conference (MSC) that provides a forum for future decision-makers to strengthen their international networks and inspire new thinking in foreign and security policy.

Since its founding in 2009, the network has become an integral part of the MSC and brings together 25 outstanding young representatives of governmental institutions, parliaments, think tanks, media and the private sector from all over the world every year. The MYL are all under 40 years old and command expert knowledge in foreign and security affairs.

At previous events, the MYL have met with high-ranking participants of the MSC such as the President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, Nana Akufo-Addo, President of the Republic of Ghana, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Minister of External Affairs of the Republic of India, Boris Pistorius, Minister of Defence of Germany, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker Emerita of the U.S. House of Representatives, Fatou Bensouda, then Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Fu Ying, former Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China as well as Nadia Murad, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and activist.

Once a year, all MYL gather for the Annual Meeting, which takes place in a different country each year and is organized in large part by local MYL alumni. Furthermore, all MYL have the opportunity to attend a variety of events (on- or offline) organized by Körber-Stiftung and the MSC.
