The Hitachi Young Leaders Initiative (HYLI) is Hitachi's way of fulfilling its commitment to society, particularly helping build future generations through innovative education. This social contribution program seeks to identify and nurture potential Asian leaders among the best and brightest students in Asia, bringing them together to discuss regional and global issues with influential government officials, prominent business leaders, academics, and NGO representatives.
Through the years since its inauguration in Singapore in 1996, HYLI consistently provides the youth leader participants with a unique platform where they can broaden their perception, understanding, and perspectives while respecting Asian cultural diversity and sharing cross-cultural experiences with other delegates. Participating countries are from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan. Each country is represented by up to four university student delegates who were carefully selected as recipients of this unique program.
