About the Young
Leaders Forum
Mexico has proposed a dynamic agenda, aggressive and urgent, so
that young people present a diagnosis on the general economic,
working and social situation of each one of them.
By sharing experiences and business models, and by promoting
links between young women and men of the 21 member
economies, we will share the vision of the region's opportunities
and needs in order to generate efficient, integral and socially
viable solutions.
