The competition aims to find 10 young pioneers and ‘leaders of tomorrow’ from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa who are making a positive impact in the world through science, the arts, education, innovation or inspiration.

Zeitgeist is Google’s annual European partner forum which is currently entering its seventh year. The meeting brings together more than 400 businesses and thought leaders from around Europe and is a great place for young visionaries to be heard.

Last year’s winner Sebastian Thiel said, ‘Zeitgeist was amazing. I learnt a lot from the great variation of speakers from different disciplines.’

Judges on the panel include UK digital champion Martha Lane Fox, social entrepreneur and hip hop artist Akala, award-winning inventor Emily Cummins, software developer and founder of metaLayer.com Jonathan Gosier and channel 4 news presenter Jon Snow.
