TORONTO, CANADA<\/strong>\u202f\u2013 Futurpreneur, a proud founding member of the G20 Young Entrepreneurs\u2019 Alliance (G20 YEA)<\/a>, is delighted to announce the 2024 Canadian delegation for the upcoming G20 YEA Summit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a rigorous selection process, 46 talented and diverse young entrepreneurs have been chosen to represent Canada at the G20 YEA Summit in Goi\u00e2nia, Brazil, from June 12-14, 2024. This international gathering will be hosted by the National Confederation of Young Entrepreneurs (CONAJE) – Brazil\u2019s G20 YEA host committee – with support from Ciano Asset Management and Fecom\u00e9rcio Goi\u00e1s (the Federation of Commerce, Services and Tourism of the state of Goi\u00e1s).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The G20 YEA Summit, held annually ahead of the G20 Leaders\u2019 Summit, serves as a platform for advising G20 governments on matters of business and entrepreneurship policy. The Alliance is a collective of organizations, across the G20 countries, representing 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

This year\u2019s G20 YEA Summit theme “Connecting Cultures, Fostering Business: Building a just world and a sustainable planet,” aligns with Futurpreneur\u2019s mandate to help young entrepreneurs build and grow sustainable businesses, fostering inclusive economic and social prosperity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 “We are immensely proud to support and lead Canada\u2019s delegation of vibrant young entrepreneurs at the 2024 G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance Summit in Goi\u00e2nia, Brazil,\u201d said Karen Greve Young, CEO, Futurpreneur. \u201cThis year\u2019s theme resonates deeply with our mission at Futurpreneur. Our delegates are poised to contribute meaningfully to discussions on sustainability and equitable business practices, highlighting Canada\u2019s commitment to fostering an inclusive economic environment. We look forward to their active participation in shaping global solutions that promote a just and sustainable future, demonstrating how Canadian innovation and values can positively impact communities around the world.\u201d 
 
The Canadian <\/strong>delegation, represents a rich diversity of sectors, provinces and equity-deserving communities from across the country. This embodies Futurpreneur\u2019s commitment to fostering inclusivity in the Canadian entrepreneurial ecosystem and the international trade landscape. The delegation consists of 48% women-led businesses and 74% of founders identify as Black (32%), Indigenous (4.3%) and People of Colour. Hailing from nine provinces, the delegates span various industries including professional services, health and wellness, cleantech, consumer products and education.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Futurpreneur\u2019s Canadian delegation is supported by Global Affairs Canada\u2019s CanExport Associations program and has formed strategic partnerships with leading organizations in bilateral and international trade. These collaborations will enhance the delegation\u2019s preparation and capacity to promote inclusive trade, more broadly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Summit will culminate with the delegates producing a communiqu\u00e9 on global entrepreneurship policy, to be presented to the G20 leaders during their subsequent summit. The communiqu\u00e9 will highlight the importance of considering young entrepreneurs\u2019 perspectives in global economic policymaking.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
