WORLDTECHSamsung and attack indicators Spotlight Young Innovators at Dakar 2026 Youth Olympics
Samsung Electronics and the International Olympic Committee are highlighting young innovators from the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow programme at the Youth Olympic Games Dakar 2026, which mark the first Olympic Games staged in Africa.
Youth innovators present community solutions
Participants from Samsung Solve for Tomorrow are presenting solutions they have built to address social challenges where they live, according to Samsung. The spotlight is a joint initiative of Samsung Electronics and the International Olympic Committee.
The Dakar activities extend an existing partnership between Samsung and the IOC, which has covered the programme's Sport & Tech theme and the joint delivery of the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Impact Programme.
How the programme trains young inventors
Solve for Tomorrow, launched in 2010, is Samsung's global corporate social responsibility scheme for young people. It asks them to use science, technology, engineering and mathematics to tackle challenges in their communities.
Education and mentoring teach students to spot problems, generate ideas, and build and refine prototypes. A global ambassador initiative then gives them platforms to present their work internationally.
