The 11th Kyiv Security Forum for Youth will be held on December 5: GEN W²: CODING THE FUTURE

On December 5, 2025, the 11th Kyiv Security Forum for Youth will be held in Kyiv by the
Arseniy Yatsenyuk's Open Ukraine Foundation.
The topic of this year’s event is GEN W²: CODING THE FUTURE.
The Kyiv Security Forum for Youth is an annual platform for discussing the challenges and
opportunities that young Ukrainians are facing in the context of the ongoing war.
This year's event will highlight an important role of Ukrainian youth and their growing
contribution to the country's defense, innovations, and recovery. The forum will bring
together 150 young leaders from all over Ukraine.
The event’s topic "Coding the Future" reflects the dual nature of Ukraine's defense— moral
and technological. The current generation is not only fighting on the battlefield, but also
writing a new code for the nation: one that combines artificial intelligence, cyber defense,
and digital innovation with the enduring values of courage, honesty, self-sacrifice, and
resilience.
The servicemen and women, MilTech representatives, diplomats, prominent volunteers and
public figures, experts on security and international relations are among this year's Forum
speakers. The Forum will also feature practical workshops.
The Forum participants will gain new knowledge, unique experience, and will become a part
of the community of new-generation leaders. They will have the opportunity to compete for
an internship at the Foundation during the preparations for the annual main Kyiv Security
Forum, which traditionally takes place in April.
The agenda will be published shortly on the website and social media platforms of the
Foundation and the KSF.
For the media accreditation, please fill out a form. Accreditation ends on Thursday,
December 4, at 4:00 p.m. Accreditation confirmation and the logistical details will be
sent to the email address provided during registration.
