The Brandtech Group is teaming up with One Young World to offer the ImpactAI Scholarship.

Generative AI is revolutionizing the business world and can also transform your initiatives and projects. This technology can exponentially increase the impact of your work by helping you understand your target audience, track the effectiveness of your communications, and generate polished ads and emails. Essentially, generative AI can enhance anything a human brain can do, making it faster, better, and cheaper. From social posts to videos to business plans, generative AI can do the heavy lifting.

The scholarship will highlight five outstanding young leaders who have spearheaded initiatives and advocacy campaigns for positive social or environmental impact and would benefit from integrating generative AI to amplify their reach. Scholars will receive funding to participate in the One Young World Summit 2024, where they will present their solutions to a global audience.

Following the Summit, scholars will become permanent members of the One Young World Ambassador Community of 17,000+ leaders in 190+ countries. Additionally, The Brandtech Group will provide mentorship and networking opportunities to help scholars integrate generative AI into their solutions and accelerate their impact.

The Brandtech Group is a marketing technology group that helps brands do their marketing better, faster, and cheaper using technology. It is the world’s #1 digital-only marketing group and the leading generative AI marketing group.

• Access to the One Young World Summit 2024 in Montréal from 18 – 21 September.
• Hotel accommodation in Montréal between 17 and 23 September.
• Return air travel.
• Catering including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
