PCF at he Aotearoa Youth Declaration 2026, engaging in a dynamic talanoa with diverse young leaders. The discussion explored Pacific geopolitics, regional frameworks, and historical lessons, such as the Banaba case, highlighting the importance of informed youth leadership in a rapidly shifting world. The experience reinforced PCF’s mission to champion Pacific capability, amplify youth voice, and support Pacific-led pathways for the region’s future.

PCF has launched a bold new chapter in Pacific youth innovation through our strategic partnership with The Hacker Exchange (HEX). In 2025, we sent our first two Pacific delegates to join HEX’s global innovation programme in Bangkok — a milestone that reflects PCF’s commitment to building world‑class pathways for Pacific leadership, entrepreneurship, and mobility. This partnership strengthens PCF’s role in the Pacific innovation ecosystem and aligns with national and regional priorities across government, business, and community. As demand for global opportunities grows, PCF is investing in the next generation of Pacific changemakers — and calling on partners to help us expand these life‑changing experiences for future cohorts.
