Address from Confindustria Y.E. National President 4 Six years later, we have created a network bringing together more than 1,400 young entrepreneurs willing to work together to address the great challenges of our era. We are close in our diversity: we come from different countries with different culture and different professional and personal backgrounds. However, we share common values that shape our everyday mission: promote entrepreneurship amongst the youngest as a mean for progress and economic development. This G20 YEA Summit edition will deal with crucial topics as job creation and youth unemployment, which have a special relevance for our country, given the economic crisis we have been passing through. As President of Italian Young Entrepreneurs, I am confident that the attendees of the event will be able to give a fundamental contribution to address these issues effectively. In addition, with no doubt the Italian delegation will bring to the works the culture, the values and the enthusiasm that feature our country. Enjoy your G20 YEA Summit. Kind regards, Marco Gay 5 The C.Y.E.
