Scottish firm to host World Summit in India

A Scottish-based organization, Power of Youth, will unite around 30 young entrepreneurs from across the globe at a global summit in India this month to share their ideas, expertise and success stories. The event will provide a platform for emerging Scottish entrepreneurs to showcase their businesses and test and push their commercial thinking among a global network of peers.
 
Earlier this year the government supported a project that connected around 20 young Scottish entrepreneurs to Power of Youth’s global network and gave them access to support and advice from a range of prominent and successful business leaders. Many more emerging young entrepreneurs will benefit from workshops devised to share learning from the project.
 

External Affairs Minister Humza Yousaf said, Power of Youth is an inspiring and influential network engaging some of the brightest and most innovative minds around the world, many from or with strong links to Scotland. I am very excited to see what comes from next week’s summit.
 
He added, Our new generation of entrepreneurs will devise the ideas and products of the future – the next Facebook, the next Dyson – and we want to ensure that the Scottish business men and women of the future can benefit from access to world-class mentorship and role models. That is why, through our support for projects like Power of Youth’s global summit, we are working had to promote enterprise and entrepreneurship amongst our young people.
 
The summit will also provide support to set up sustainable small enterprises through the Scottish Government’s South Asia International Development Fund.
