What happened
First Lady Melania Trump welcomed an impressive delegation of world leaders, first spouses, and best-in-class tech companies sharing a purpose to empower the next generation’s advancement in technology and education, greeting delegations from dozens of countries across every region by name, from Albania and Antigua and Barbuda to Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates, according to her remarks.
Trump declared the inaugural meeting of Fostering the Future Together open and said the coalition’s mission is to empower children by providing greater access to technology and education — a historic moment to cultivate the skills young people need in a rapidly evolving world, according to Trump. She said the coalition will create innovative learning programs, advocate supportive education policies, sponsor new tech-focused legislation, and build public-private partnerships, according to her remarks.
Trump said the coalition’s collaborative platform will serve as a capability multiplier built on AI, education, and global leadership, with a shared vision that prioritizes children above political philosophy and geography, according to Trump. She invited each member to commit to hosting a regional meeting, conduct a research study, advance new partnerships, or collaborate with another member nation, and commended America’s leading companies for convening over the two-day gathering at the State Department and White House, according to the remarks.
