论坛聚焦4大经济支柱

本届论坛主题为“解码下一个十年：推进马来西亚经济新边疆”（Decoding the Next Decade: Advancing Malaysia’s Economic Frontier），讨论围绕数码与人工智能、绿色及可持续能源、马来西亚人才，以及社会保障4大支柱展开。

主办方希望通过4项议题，探讨马来西亚如何开拓新的经济增长空间，同时确保经济发展能够转化为更好的就业机会、生计条件及社会福祉。

数码与人工智能：提升生产力

第一项支柱关注人工智能如何重新塑造经济引擎。

相关讨论将探讨人工智能如何应用于现有行业、供应链及日常营运，以提高生产力。同时，网络安全、治理机制及公众信任，也将成为人工智能普及过程中必须处理的问题。

绿色能源：兼顾可靠、可负担与永续

第二项支柱聚焦绿色及可持续能源。

论坛将讨论马来西亚未来十年的能源组合，包括如何在电力供应可靠性、能源价格可负担性及环境永续之间取得平衡。议题也涉及更多能源技术、加强电网基础设施及持续吸引投资。

人才发展：从教育走向高价值工作

第三项支柱聚焦人才发展及技能提升。

论坛将讨论能力建设、终身学习，以及教育体系与雇主之间更紧密的联系，协助马来西亚人应对新兴产业的就业需求，并逐步进入更高价值的工作领域。

社会保障：从经济增长走向全民繁荣

第四项支柱则讨论社会保障及经济发展成果如何惠及人民。

相关会议将探讨经济增长是否能够转化为更强的家庭保障、社会流动机会及基本服务，并关注受到经济转型影响的群体。

聚焦青年成为未来创业者与创新者

本届论坛也安排特别领导演讲，由东姑扎夫鲁主讲“下一代优势：推动青年成为新一代冠军”。

演讲将聚焦如何协助年轻人成为未来的创办人、创新者及行业领袖。

此外，欧盟驻马来西亚大使拉斐尔达尔也将参与炉边对话，主题为“把伙伴关系落实于实践：建立可信赖的数码生态系统”，讨论政府、企业及学术界之间的国际合作。

PFAA主席范妮莎雅拉表示，YEF成立10周年，反映组织持续推动青年直接参与国家未来讨论的承诺。

根据PFAA资料，YEF过去多届活动累计吸引超过6900名参与者，邀请超过210名杰出演讲者，并与超过90个伙伴建立合作关系。

SOMO观察

YEF迈入第10届，参与人数及合作伙伴规模持续扩大，显示青年经济议题已从一般交流活动，逐步进入企业与政策讨论的核心。人工智能将影响企业生产力及人才结构，能源转型则关系到营运成本、供应链和长期投资；教育与就业之间的衔接，也会直接影响企业招聘及员工技能。对企业界而言，YEF所讨论的并不是抽象的未来议题，而是接下来十年可能改变商业模式、投资方向及人才竞争的现实因素。若政策制定者能够把论坛讨论转化为具体措施，青年参与将更有机会对经济发展产生实际影响。

YEF 10周年所提出的核心问题，是马来西亚如何在推动经济增长的同时，让更多人民和企业参与并受惠。
