Most Competitive Youth (MCY)
The Most Competitive Youth is a strategic initiative that will engage youth in Saudi Arabia (Saudi nationals and Saudi residents) in applying 21st Century skill sets to improving their communities, inspiring creativity, promoting innovation, and bringing Saudi Arabia’s economy to the forefront of competitiveness.
The purpose is to create, promote and launch a unique competition that challenges youth in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to demonstrate their global competitiveness by applying 21st Century Skills sets while encouraging and fostering creative and innovative pursuits.
Talent has become an increasingly key strategic asset for both nations and corporations. Across the globe, developed and developing countries, are at the forefront of expanded investments in education and programs to augment and build up the capabilities of their youth.
More specifically, driven by the growing imperatives of entrepreneurship, innovation and competitiveness, as well as sustainability concerns, each of these countries has come to the realization that encouraging and developing young talent is both a national economic priority and technological necessity.
