The document discusses CYBF's involvement in organizing the G20 Young Entrepreneur Summit (G20 YES) in Canada. The G20 YES brought together over 200 youth delegates from leading entrepreneurship organizations in G20 countries. It resulted in a communiqué outlining support for young entrepreneurs, and the formation of the ongoing G20 Young Entrepreneurs' Alliance. The Summit helped champion entrepreneurship among world leaders and business executives attending adjacent G20 meetings.
