Chelsey Reschke Has Been Selected As A Canadian Delegate For The G20 Young Entrepreneurs Alliance Summit

Chelsey Reschke, Voran Group CEO Along With 46 Young Entrepreneurs Will Represent Canada At The 2022 G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance Summit in Hamburg, Germany This October:

Futurpreneur, an official co-founding member of the G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance (G20 YEA), is proud to announce the 2022 Canadian G20 YEA delegation.

After reviewing over 200 applications, 47 young entrepreneurs were chosen to represent Canada at the G20 YEA in-person Summit in Hamburg, Germany on October 27th and 28th, 2022.

The G20 YEA Summit takes place annually in advance of the widely known G20 Leaders’ Summit.

Representing over 500,000 young entrepreneurs worldwide, the G20 YEA is a global collective of organizations poised to influence the direction of policy on business and entrepreneurship. Canada’s delegates will join hundreds of young entrepreneurs and business leaders from across the world at the annual G20 YEA Summit to connect, share ideas, and ultimately submit a communiqué on entrepreneurship policy to G20 Leaders.

Harbouring Peace and Sustainability Through Entrepreneurship: 

Each delegate and their business bring unique perspectives to the 2022 Summit’s theme.

These entrepreneurial leaders will focus on what it means for Canada and its diverse young entrepreneurs to conduct business while addressing systemic barriers to economic development, as well as building relations and a better understanding of equity, inclusion and reconciliation.

They will also discuss how to tackle the consequences of climate change through sustainable business practices, services or products.

At the end of the Summit, the G20 YEA delegates will produce and submit a communiqué on global entrepreneurship policy. This is presented to the G20 leaders at their subsequent Summit. The communiqué is an important medium to ensure that the world’s decision-makers hear young entrepreneurs’ perspectives. The communiqué empowers young entrepreneurs to contribute to conversations about business, entrepreneurship and economic development on a global scale.

Futurpreneur’s delegation is robust with representatives from 9 different provinces. Representing an array of industries, the delegation is made up of 51% women-led businesses, 57% BIPOC-led companies, including 8% indigenous-led businesses.

This year’s Summit will also be the first using the new G20 YEA mobile app. The app helps facilitate meaningful connections and B2B opportunities.

Developed and now powered by two Canadian delegates, The First Prototype and Upbio, the app is supported by the G20 YEA Canada team at Futurpreneur and in part by Global Affairs Canada’s CanExport Associations program.

The 2022 Canadian delegation’s participation in the G20 YEA Summit and related trade activities are funded in part by the Government of Canada
