It became the largest youth-led energy event in the world that provides space for hundreds of young people to collaborate on sustainable energy solutions. The organisers enabled the participation of youth from diverse backgrounds, especially young people from marginalized communities and developing countries, who had the opportunity to amplify their capacities and scale up their clean energy projects.

BE OPEN invited the delegates from all over the world to develop and submit their projects to the ongoing competition dedicated to SDG13: Climate Action.
