The
World Summit of Young Entrepreneurs (WSYE) is
a global platform of the WTU that is designed to provide a global
forum for promising
professionals from diverse business and
socio-economic backgrounds. The programme uses this unique opportunity to
define, shape and influence the
issues surrounding global young entrepreneurs
and firms from small and
medium-sized enterprises and industries (SME/SMI)
to multinationals
corporations. The goal of the summit is to to
facilitate access to dynamic
international networks and to build
world-class entrepreneurs with high
competencies in enterprise development,
information and communication
technology, trade negotiations,
sustainability, and joint venture
development.
Since
1993, the WSYE has focused on diversity
through the selection of
participants from a broad range of sectors
including food and agriculture, information and
communication technology,
textiles and fabrics,
biotechnology, energy, e-commerce,
exports/imports, finance and investment,
transportation and manufacturing. The summit
operates on a
selection-by-invitation basis, which follow
rigorous standards. Individuals
must be nominated by a business, organization,
their local chamber of
commerce, or business association.
Knowledge
Creation and Networking exploration is the
programme’s highest
priority. The summit, held every 14 to 18
months, has been organized in the
past in conjunction with major United Nations
Global Conferences.
