First Lady Melania Trump will host leaders from 45 nations at the White House next week.
The two-day Global Coalition Summit for her Fostering the Future Together initiative starts March 24 at the U.S. Department of State and ends March 25 at the White House. It marks the first time a U.S. First Lady has gathered representatives from 45 nations there in a single day, according to a White House statement.
The coalition unites countries to advance children’s education and access to technology. The First Lady outlined the idea during the 80th United Nations General Assembly in September 2025. She said the initiative’s mission is “to ensure that every child can flourish in the digital era.”
“Innovation is wonderful. Our nations benefit from advancements in technology—saving lives, expanding access to knowledge, connecting people, and, of course, safety,” she added. “Remember, our next generation will use tech to revolutionize how we live, travel, design, and connect.”
Member nations include the United States, France, Poland, Panama, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Lithuania, Nigeria, Paraguay, Saudi Arabia, Aruba, Morocco, Kenya, Israel, and many more.
Twenty-eight technology companies will participate, among them OpenAI, Microsoft, xAI, Meta, Palantir, Adobe, Google, and Zoom Communications.
Organizers described Fostering the Future Together as a long-term effort.
