The keynote, 'Accelerating towards the Future: Audi and the Three Innovations Transforming What Drives Us,' will share how the automotive industry must adapt to new technologies, how innovators have a responsibility to make the world better and what Audi is doing to lead.

This will be Audi's second consecutive year participating in the summit. One Young World unites young leaders from across the world who are committed to improving the world. The four-day, annual event includes workshops, exhibitions and plenary sessions on education, environment, leadership and government, poverty alleviation and economic development as well as peace and reconciliation.

In addition to Scott, this year's summit includes keynotes from Kofi Annan, former United Nations secretary general, Paul Polman, CEO of Unilever, Juan Manuel Santos, president of Colombia, and Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel Prize recipient for his work to eradicate poverty through micro-lending.
