Music, Innovation, and Purpose Collide in Dubai
When the world's largest tech and startup event—GITEX Global and Expand North Star—hit Dubai for its 44th edition in 2024, it wasn’t just about AI, robotics, or next-gen startups. It was about powering change, and AY Young brought the voltage.
The UN-recognized Leader of the SDGs and the unstoppable force behind the Battery Tour, AY took the stage not just as a performer—but as a visionary speaker, reminding the world that we can change the world, one beat and one action at a time.
🔋 Powering GITEX with the Battery Tour
AY lit up the stage with his signature fusion of high-energy music and sustainability messaging, using solar-powered gear from the Battery Tour to deliver an electrifying live performance—literally powered by clean energy.
But it wasn’t just music. It was movement.
🎶 Project 17: Music for the Global Goals
Through Project 17, AY is writing one song for each of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—collaborating with major global artists, nonprofits, sponsors, and changemakers to spotlight solutions for everything from clean water (SDG6) to quality education (SDG4) and climate action (SDG13).
Each song is paired with a documentary episode, real-world community action, and a commitment to donate 100% of profits to sustainable impact projects around the globe.
It’s art. It’s action. It’s what the future of global impact sounds like.
🎤 Speaker & Changemaker at Expand North Star
On the speaker circuit, AY inspired tech leaders, startup founders, and future-forward investors to see music and culture as powerful tools to advance sustainability. His panel talks echoed his signature message: “Change doesn’t start with policy. It starts with people.”
AY challenged the audience to think beyond innovation for profit and toward innovation for purpose—sparking connections between tech, youth empowerment, clean energy, and climate justice.
🌱 Hope for the Planet—Live from Dubai
Whether he was on stage, connecting with fellow leaders like Sanjit Basu, Mimi Nicklin, Mohana Das, Ashutosh Pandey, and Shreyash Tripathi, or simply spreading the vibe of possibility, AY embodied the spirit of this year’s GITEX theme: The Year to Imagine AI in Everything—and Impact in Everyone.
Because to AY, “impact” isn’t a buzzword. It’s a beat. It’s a lifestyle. It’s the next revolution.
