What is the NextGen2030 Summit?

It is a three-day gathering in Riyadh built around one question: how do young people prepare for a future shaped by artificial intelligence? You attend sessions, join workshops, and meet other young people from around the world.

It is organized by Teaching Pakistan and Inseyab Saudi Arabia, two private organizations. You leave with the experience, the people you meet, and a certificate of participation.

What you get (fully funded category)

  • Round-trip airfare
  • Full waiver of the program fee
  • Accommodation during the summit
  • Meals during the summit
  • Certificate of participation

The seat categories

  • 10 fully funded seats: airfare, full program fee waiver, accommodation, and meals
  • 40 partially funded seats: up to 80% off the program fee, plus meals and accommodation
  • 100 free-entry seats: session access and meals, travel not covered
  • 50 self-funded seats

Who can apply

  • You are 16 years old or above at the time of the event.
  • You can be from any country.
  • You are interested in youth leadership, technology, and how AI shapes the future.
  • You can travel to Saudi Arabia and get a visa if selected.

Is there an age limit?

The only age rule is that you must be at least 16. There is no upper age limit, so a 17-year-old in school and a 30-year-old already working can both apply.

Do I need IELTS or TOEFL?

No. The organizers do not ask for an English test. Sessions run in English, so you should be able to take part in English.

What is the application fee?

To be considered for the funded and scholarship seats, you submit payment proof from an Eventbrite purchase, reported at around US$20. Check the exact amount at the Eventbrite checkout before you pay, and keep your payment proof.

How to make your application stand out

The 10 fully funded seats are competitive, so your reason for attending is what sets you apart. Be specific about why AI and the future of work matter to you and what you want to do with what you learn. A short, honest answer beats a long, general one.

How to apply, step by step

  1. Open the official event page and read the seat categories for yourself.
  2. Fill in the application form with your details and your reason for attending.
  3. For a funded or scholarship seat, complete the Eventbrite step and keep your payment proof.
  4. Submit before the deadline.

Selection process

The organizers review applications and select participants for the fully funded and partially funded seats. Selected applicants are contacted with the next steps for travel and visa.

Deadline

25 September 2026.

The event runs 27 to 29 November 2026 in Riyadh. The deadline is close, so if you want a funded seat, apply early.
