All Backgrounds
The FutureMinds Summit Thailand 2026 (FMST) is a four-day international youth summit in Bangkok — Asia’s UN Capital — bringing together young leaders, innovators, and changemakers from around the world to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Organized by the Global Youth Network (GYN), this is your chance to speak on a global stage, connect with world-class experts, and explore the heart of Southeast Asia.
The summit focuses on four key SDGs: Quality Education (SDG4), Gender Equality (SDG5), Innovation (SDG9), and Climate Action (SDG13) — under the theme “Exploring Sustainability through Innovative Minds.” Whether you are a student, professional, activist, or entrepreneur, your ideas belong here.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is the $18.50 application fee refundable?›
No, the $18.50 application fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome. However, if you are not selected for a scholarship, you will still receive LMS access, workshop recordings, the full curriculum, and a virtual certificate as part of the application package.
What is covered in the fully funded slot vs partially funded?›
Both fully and partially funded slots cover visa fees, accommodation, meals, summit fee, certificate, and cultural events. The key difference is that fully funded slots include round-trip international airfare, while partially funded slots do not. Both are equally competitive — only the top 20 applicants are selected.
I don’t have a passport yet — can I still apply?›
Yes! You can apply using your National Identity Card (NIC) or student ID in place of passport details for now. However, a valid passport is required before the summit in July 2026. GYN strongly recommends applying for your passport as soon as possible after submitting your application.
Will GYN help with my Thai visa application?›
GYN will provide an official invitation letter, proof of accommodation, and the program location to support your visa application. Note that the final visa decision rests with the Thai embassy — GYN cannot guarantee approval but will provide all possible documentation to support your case.
When will I find out if I am selected?›
Results will be announced on June 22, 2026. All applicants will receive an email notification, and the final list of selected delegates will also be posted on GYN’s Facebook and Instagram pages. Make sure to follow their social media for updates.
