Young people across Central and Eastern Europe are entering a rapidly changing financial landscape, where new opportunities come with increasing vulnerabilities. As the region’s financial literacy gap widens, tens of thousands remain at risk. In response to these challenges, the Allianz CE MoveNow Scholarship 2026 aims to strengthen the region’s long-term financial resilience by supporting underserved youth in financial need aged 18–30* who are preparing for future careers in leadership. We are looking for young people who combine academic excellence with curiosity and innovative thinking, and who—through the scholarship and the One Young World community—can articulate a clear vision for contributing to societal progress in the region.

One Young World is one of the world’s leading platforms for young leaders, bringing together emerging talents from more than 190 countries each year. Through its annual Summit and ongoing leadership programmes, it connects young people with worldclass insights, international networks, and a diverse community of changemakers. The experience equips participants with the skills, perspectives, and exposure needed to return to their communities and drive meaningful, long-term impact.

Through this initiative, 13 promising young leaders will be selected to attend the One Young World Summit 2026 in Cape Town, South Africa between 3–6 November, gaining access to world‑class leadership development, global insights, and a powerful international network.
