Kairos Society

Founded in 2008, Kairos Society is an international, student-run, not-for-profit foundation based in the United States. Kairos fosters a culture of innovation-driven entrepreneurship by engaging our diverse fellows with a variety of industry and thought leaders surrounding a wide range of global challenges. Our seven hundred global fellows hail from fourteen countries across four continents and represent the most innovative students from top universities around the world. Kairos fellows strive to develop meaningful ventures that create value for the global economy, while improving the lives of billions of people around the world. In doing so, Kairos works to bridge the gaps -- between disciplines, cultures and generations -- that stifle transformative innovation. We achieve these goals by fostering an international community of top student entrepreneurs and change makers. Together, these future leaders will create the next billion dollar companies that tackle our world’s greatest challenges such as education, healthcare, and energy.

The Summit

The Kairos Society is pleased to announce its fourth annual Global Summit to be held February 2-5, 2012 in New York City. Over the course of the weekend, these current and future world leaders will work together across generations, disciplines, and nations to create high-growth companies that solve the world’s most pressing challenges. The summit will take place at the New York Academy of Medicine, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and the New York Institute of Technology de Seversky Mansion.
