The goal is to unlock financing for young entrepreneurs, create a sustainable funding platform for member organizations, and develop a global loan financing model that can be replicated. Developing the proposal required overcoming communication challenges between the diverse team members and aligning on objectives, support provided, and data collection.
Working Group B discussed developing the brand of the YBI Network. They see value in a cohesive network brand for members in attracting interest, support, partnerships and motivating staff.

It was agreed that a draft brand strategy and plan would be developed by November to strengthen the network's global identity and facilitate more collaboration between members.
