EXECUTIVE BRIEF

Most emerging governments are utilizing non-measurable, and in some cases ad-hoc approaches to developing their youth entrepreneurship infrastructure. Successful emerging markets have blended innovative financing models, with good policies and infrastructure, not just to achieve sustainable economic efficiencies, but also to improve employment growth, knowledge competitiveness and bottom-line results. Through this session, leaders will share actual experiences that show that economic and youth entrepreneurship improvements go hand-in-hand. 

KEY ISSUES 

  1. What trends will affect youth entrepreneurial initiatives in governments through 2010?

  2. How do those trends affect employment levels in emerging markets?

  3. How can we address the youth entrepreneurship divide to eliminate adverse effects on the future values and principles of youth?

  4. What are the success stories to share, and how do you overcome youth entrepreneurship uncertainties?
