Episode 15: How G20 Young Entrepreneurs Would Like to Shape The World's Economic Recovery

Every year, young entrepreneurs from across the globe unite at the G20 Young Entrepreneurs' Alliance (YEA) Summit to share insights, learnings, expertise focused on entrepreneurship and more importantly, unite their voices in an urgent call to action for the G20 Leaders.

This year, 48 of the nation’s best and brightest young entrepreneurs were selected to represent Canada at the first-ever digital summit hosted by Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Among the Canadian delegates included two Windsorites, Saameer Mansoor, Founder of The Prototype, and Yvonne Pilon, President & CEO of WEtech Alliance.
