First Lady Melania Trump is holding a two-day global coalition summit, Fostering the Future Together, to empower children through education and technology.
Fostering the Future Together is a global coalition launched by Melania Trump in 2025 to empower children in a digital age through education in developing digital skills, robotics, and AI. The initiative is also meant to empower parents in helping protect their children from online dangers.
To join the Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition, spouses of global leaders made public commitments about their efforts in their own nations to make advanced technology available to assist children, educators and parents, while also protecting the children from online dangers.
This summit is the first time in history a U.S. first lady will host representatives from nearly 50 nations at the White House in a single day.
“This two-day conference is just the beginning,” Marc Beckman, exclusive senior advisor and producer for First Lady Trump, said. “This is a long-term sustainable platform where member nations are going to participate with this initiative, this mission of empowering children through education and technology.”
First spouses and equivalent leaders of 45 nations and 28 technology companies will gather at the U.S. Department of State on Tuesday for a day-long working group meeting and the White House on Wednesday for a high-level roundtable meeting.
First spouse and equivalent leaders from France, Poland, Panama, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Lithuania, Nigeria, Paraguay, Saudi Arabia, Aruba, Morocco, Kenya, and Israel alongside companies such as OpenAI, Microsoft, xAI, Meta, Palantir, Adobe, Google, and Zoom Communications are expected to attend this summit.
Predicted discussions for the summit include how to best implement available innovative technologies to create educational opportunities for the children in each of their countries, how to train educators and parents on the technology use and protections, and how to design advanced learning environments for the future.
“What I’m hoping is that Malania Trump’s efforts really organize an entire generation of students, K through 12 in our country so that they can have an advantage,” Beckman said. “If we don’t train this entire next generation, there could be security issues.”
