TORONTO, ONTARIO (MAY 25, 2023)<\/strong> – Futurpreneur, an official co-founding member of the G20 Young Entrepreneurs\u2019 Alliance (G20 YEA)<\/a>, is proud to announce the 2023 Canadian G20 YEA delegation. After a rigorous selection process, 47 talented and diverse young entrepreneurs have been chosen to represent Canada at the G20 YEA Summit, hosted by Young Indians (YI) and the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) in New Delhi, India, from July 13-16, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The G20 YEA Summit, held annually ahead of the widely known G20 Leaders\u2019 Summit, serves as a platform for advising its governments on matters of business and entrepreneurship policy. The Alliance is a collective of organizations across the G20 countries that represent more than 500,000 young entrepreneurs, who meet every year to affect positive policy change and champion youth entrepreneurship worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme this year is \u201cHum\u201d \u2013 the Hindi word for \u2018We\u2019 \u2013 symbolizing the power of collaboration. The theme not only embraces the diverse perspectives that will be shared during the event but also underscores the continued global commitment to enhancing the participation of underrepresented groups in the international trade landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karen Greve Young, CEO of Futurpreneur, shares her enthusiasm, stating, \u201cAs founding members of this important global community, we are thrilled to be a part of this year\u2019s G20 YEA Summit in New Delhi. The Summit theme \u201cHum\u201d, or \u201cTogetherness\u201d, resonates strongly with Futurpreneur\u2019s dedication to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. As part of our commitment, we have developed tailored offerings to empower equity-deserving young entrepreneurs, led by teams with lived experience and supported by our entire organization. We believe that Canada can achieve the inclusive prosperity we aspire to when we all come together to make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian delegation, representing a rich diversity of sectors, provinces, and equity-deserving groups from across the country, embodies Futurpreneur\u2019s commitment to fostering inclusivity in the Canadian international trade landscape. The delegation consists of 40% women-led businesses and includes 59% of entrepreneurs from equity-deserving groups, including Black and Indigenous entrepreneurs. Hailing from nine provinces, the delegates represent a variety of sectors and industries such as Professional Services, Consumer products, Information and Communications technologies, and Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe G20 YEA will open the doors to the world for you. You will meet like-minded people and have the opportunity to propose ideas that will shape the entrepreneurial world of today and tomorrow,\u201d Kathy Pellerin, VisaVie Canada (QC) and G20 YEA delegate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Futurpreneur\u2019s Canadian delegation receives valuable support through a contribution from Global Affairs\u2019 CanExport Associations program. The organization has also formed strategic partnerships with esteemed organizations such as the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, the Organization of Women in Trade \u2013 Toronto, and the Canada-India Acceleration Program. These collaborative partnerships encompass delegation briefing, thought leadership, and support for promoting inclusive trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Summit culminates with the delegates producing and issuing a communiqu\u00e9 on global entrepreneurship policy, which is presented to the G20 leaders during their subsequent Summit. The communiqu\u00e9 ensures the decision-makers worldwide prioritize the voices and perspectives of young entrepreneurs and keeps these recommendations at the forefront throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The G20 YEA Summit experience will be enhanced by the G20 YEA mobile app<\/a>, designed to connect over 800 young entrepreneurs digitally and facilitate meaningful connections and B2B opportunities. The app, powered by two past Canadian delegates, The First Prototype and Upbio, is supported by the G20 YEA Canada team at Futurpreneur and in part by past contributions from Global Affairs Canada\u2019s CanExport Associations program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
