The G20 Young Entrepreneurs\u2019 Alliance (G20 YEA)<\/a> is a global network of young entrepreneurs and the organizations that support them. It was established to convene each year in advance of the G-20 Summit, with the aim of championing the importance of young entrepreneurs to the G20 member nations and to share examples and practices. The Alliance was officially created at the G20 Young Entrepreneurs Summit, Toronto, Canada, 2010. This year the G20 YEA Summit<\/a> is being held in Istanbul, Turkey.<\/p>\n

As the official G20 YEA member for our country, Futurpreneur Canada reviewed over 60 applications from Canadians passionate about entrepreneurship and the opportunity to join the 2015 Canadian delegation. After a round of interviews, a panel of judges selected 22 entrepreneurs to represent their country on the international stage. The Canadian delegates will travel to Turkey this September to engage the G20 leaders and policymakers in the cause of youth entrepreneurship and to meet and network with over 600 entrepreneurs from around the globe. Meet the 2015 delegation below!<\/p>\n
