Malala Yousafzai, education activist and Nobel Peace Prize recipient, tells business leaders in Salt Lake City that investing in women's education isn't just a good deed, but good business.

The Nobel Peace laureate is one of the keynote speakers at the Qualtrics X4 Summit at the Salt Palace.

That’s what Yousafzai does, whether talking to students, parents or world leaders. She said she tries to connect with people and their stories, to find common elements between herself and others. The talk, titled “Dismantling Inequity: The Power of Developing Women Leaders,” was one of the highlights of the second day of the three-day convention, devoted to the idea of “making business more human.”, co-founded by Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith, is a software company that partners with companies — a list that includes the NBA, American Express, Coca-Cola, Google and Spotify — to capture and store experience data from customers and employees alike.

Yousafazi noted that younger people, in particular, are much more optimistic about the world, even if they are frustrated with the inaction over injustice. Those young people, she said, hope leaders can work toward the betterment of their communities and countries.“When we invest in education, it adds up to $30 trillion to the world economy,” she said.
