Forbes will assemble a collection of young international entrepreneurs in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in May 2018.
On Wednesday, January 3, 2018, Forbes announced that the first-ever Forbes Under 30 Summit Global will take place in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, from May 6 to May 9, 2018.
In previous years, the Under 30 Summit had held regional events in the United States, as well as Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. This event will be the first where all continents will roughly produce 800 of their best young entrepreneurs. The United States, Asia, and Europe will register 200 entrepreneurs as well as 200 from the Middle East and Africa which will be culled from Forbes’ 30 Under 30 lists around the planet.
"We’re thrilled to pull the best of the best young entrepreneurs and game changers from Asia, Europe, the U.S, Africa and the Middle East," said Randall Lane, editor of Forbes. "This summit represents a true crossroads, a meeting of people who will help run every field in every country for the next half-century."

The Under 30 Summit Global will bring this international cohort together for four days of panels, performances, product demos and keynotes, all integrated within the cultural treasures of Israel, whether from a food festival on the beach of Tel Aviv to a music festival in the historic city of Jerusalem.
Additionally, the Forbes Under 30 Global will spend a day on service, so that all communities in the region benefit from this confluence of entrepreneurial talent.
Forbes’ 30 Under 30 platform is made up of lists which feature young game changers and is published online all over the world, at live summits in the U.S., Asia and Israel, and an Under 30 Channel on Forbes.
