The
World Summit of Young Entrepreneurs, established in Canada
in 1993, has always been coordinated as an integral part of
major global UN conferences. The summit has been held nine
times in six countries on four continents. Over an 11-year
period, the summit has brought together over 4,800 emerging
young entrepreneurs (between ages 21 and 42) from 185 countries
and has facilitated over 1,000 international joint ventures,
ranging in value between $20,000 USD and $2 million USD in
a wide array of sectors.
The
first four events focused on social entrepreneurs and leaders,
with a significant focus on civil society and multi lateral
agency representation. The subsequent five events, held between
1997 and 2003, have focused primarily on young entrepreneurs
who operate high value added businesses in emerging economies.
The
next WSYE is earmarked as part of the World Trade Forum in
Vancouver, Canada in late Fall 2005. The World Trade Forum
is a UN Global Partnership Mechanism. request
