The times are changing; ensure your leadership is, too.
As organisations worldwide increasingly recognise that meeting today’s complex challenges requires both outer action and inner transformation, the IDG Summit offers a unique space to embody this integration firsthand.
Join global business leaders, policymakers, visionary thinkers and grassroots innovators to experience how inner development can drive sustainable, lasting change across sectors for a more equitable, flourishing world.
From Stockholm to the World
After three transformative years that saw the Inner Development Goals initiative grow from a pioneering framework into a global movement, we’ll gather again in Stockholm to strengthen our collective impact before expanding the Summit beyond Sweden.

“The IDG Summit has more art, music, science, connection, but also genuinely moving experiences. You cannot come to the summit and not be changed by it.”
Gail Whiteman

“The IDG Summit is a space where people can come together and talk about, learn and showcase where inner development comes from and where it should go””

THE IDG SUMMIT PROGRAMME
A 3 Day Journey
The question is not, ‘How do we build bridges?’ but ‘How do we become the bridge itself?’
DAY ONE:
Inspiration
At the iconic venue ‘Cirkus’ in Stockholm, expect inspiring talks, intimate conversations, art performances and participatory experiences centred around real-life stories on how inner skills can catalyse outer impact.
Dotted in and around the venue, enjoy space in between the talks for more magic to happen as you connect, digest and feel into the IDG skills across our five Dimension spaces: Being, Thinking, Relating, Collaborating, and Acting.
DAY TWO:
Deep Dives
Tailor your Summit experience and choose from five dynamic tracks spread across Stockholm that align with your interests or expertise.
Gain practical tools to reimagine the playbook on sustainable and systemic change in collaboration with leading businesses, institutions and government organisations.
Convene with others from your field or seek a new perspective in these interactive workshops, debates, and discussions aimed at transforming the way you live and lead.
DAY THREE:
Decompression
Unwind in this optional open space to deepen connections and nurture the seeds of inspiration that were planted as you mingle, integrate & co-create with fellow participants, speakers and artists.
Continue conversations with new friends, set up spontaneous discussion circles around questions that popped up, take a walk, join the unconference or embrace this free space for whatever wants to emerge.
BEFORE & AFTER:
Side Events
Before and after the main summit programme, there will be more chances to connect with fellow participants or nature, bring in your own ideas or simply unwind together.
IMPORTANT: Not all side events are included in the IDG Summit ticket and might cost extra.

INNER DEVELOPMENT GOALS
About Us
In 2015, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provided a comprehensive plan for a sustainable world by 2030. However, progress is not happening fast enough, and we urgently need to increase our collective abilities to face and work effectively with complex challenges.
This is why we are co-creating the Inner Development Goals (IDG) – a non-profit initiative committed to fostering inner development towards more sustainable futures. We research, collect, and communicate science-based skills and qualities that help us to live purposeful, sustainable, and productive lives.
The Framework
Our vision at IDG is a world where inner development is unlocking humanity’s potential to build a flourishing future for people and the planet.
This isn’t just about personal growth; inner development is a transformative force that propels us to engage collectively with the challenges of our times.
The open-source IDG Framework, co-created with input from experts, scientists, practitioners and organisations worldwide, facilitates this transformation. It provides a shared language and structured roadmap to cultivate the essential inner skills needed for effective leadership, collaborative problem-solving, and sustainable societal change.
