Participants spent two days discussing specific solutions and creating new rules, standards and practices.

The forum received over 700 projects and initiatives from 115 countries with the topics of peace and security, environment, development, new technology, inclusive economic growth, culture and education.

Of them, 120 projects were chosen to be presented at the event through which founders will have a chance to discuss with leaders and potential partners.
