Unite BVI Foundation, in partnership with Virgin Unite, is proud to announce the selection of Nicoy Hendrickson as the British Virgin Islands’ representative at the prestigious One Young World 2025 Summit in Munich, Germany. This marks a historic moment for the BVI, as Hendrickson will be the Territory’s first representative to attend this global gathering of young leaders.
The highly anticipated selection process saw several passionate young individuals from across the BVI express their interest in attending the Summit through the completion of a written survey stating their thoughts on thematic topics of discussion at the Summit. Following a rigorous review, six outstanding candidates were chosen for interviews, demonstrating their depth of talent and dedication to global issues within the territory.
“We were incredibly impressed by the calibre of applicants and inspired by the passion and dedication of young leaders from across the BVI.” said Kim Takeuchi, Executive Director of Unite BVI. “Nicoy’s exceptional vision and international experience set him apart. We are confident he will not only deliver on a global stage but also inspire his peers with innovative ideas upon his return.”

(CCT BVI), where he currently serves as the Business Development Manager. A Temple University graduate with a concentration in Finance, he is also deeply passionate about innovation, youth empowerment, and social advocacy.
As the BVI’s first representative at the One Young World Summit, Nicoy aims to champion critical themes of education, responsible technology, and community development during the conference in Munich. He is eager to share insights from the BVI and collaborate with young leaders from over 190 countries to address pressing global issues and inspire meaningful change.
“It is a profound honour to be selected as the first-ever delegate to represent the Virgin Islands at the One Young World Summit held this year in Munich, Germany,” said Nicoy Hendrickson. “I recognize that the weight of this opportunity is bigger than myself. Thus, I hope not only to contribute to meaningful dialogue for global change, but also to amplify the voice of our Territory internationally. As one of the global representatives, I am both eager and committed to preparing diligently to proudly represent these Virgin Islands, and to return with insights that can add lasting value to our Territory.”
The One Young World Summit, a powerful global platform, brings together 1,500 young leaders to address global challenges and lead change. The 2025 Summit will focus on five crucial themes: The Circular Economy, Responsible Tech, Education, Anti-Hate, Peace and Security.
