3. Welcometothe
GlobalSummit
A message from Andrew Devenport, CEO of Youth Business International
Welcome to London!
On behalf of YBI I would like to extend a warm welcome to you,
and all the Global Summit delegates arriving from around the
world. Individually you represent your organisation and the YBI
network which has now spread to over 40 countries, providing
crucial support to tens of thousands of young people; collectively
you represent an exceptional and unique group of youth
entrepreneurship support practitioners. We are excited and
honoured to have you here.
For those of you who are attending your first Global Summit, you
will soon find out that this week presents a fantastic opportunity
to share your expertise and to learn from others. In addition to
this, the Summit is a great social occasion, giving you the chance
to meet your YBI network colleagues face to face. This year we’ve
launched a dedicated online community to help strengthen this
important network asset. You can find out more about making
the most of this new resource in your delegate pack.
As you know, youth employment is a growing global issue,
an opportunity and a challenge that threatens prosperity
and security in developed economies as much as growth and
development in the emerging economies of the world. Since
our last gathering in Mexico, the world has become more aware
of the scale of this challenge and is looking to our network
and organisations like yours for solutions. I believe that at this
Global Summit the YBI network can build on the tremendous
progress we have made in the past three years and take another
step towards our vision of making sure every aspiring young
entrepreneur has the means to succeed.
Simply put, if we can’t find enough work for young people today,
and the next generation of young people, then we are going to
face a world that is significantly less stable, less prosperous, and
less optimistic.
Our biggest challenge is that there is still not enough support
available for young people who want to start up their own
business. Throughout our network, entrepreneurs tell us that the
odds are stacked against them, from the education system to
the bank manager.
Business as usual got us where we are today; we need to do
things differently.
That is what the Global Youth Entrepreneurship Summit is all
about. It is about doing business as UNusual.
Business as unusual means looking at new ways to get young
entrepreneurs the support they need. Business as unusual
means not accepting that the systems that have worked in
the past are always the most effective for the future of our
economies.
Over the very varied programme of the four days of the Global
Summit you will experience the opportunity to learn, connect
and share with others. You will also get the rare chance to see
and be part of our global network in action. You will witness
the synergies that come from working together and you as an
individual will have the power to help set the direction of our
network in the coming years.
It is going to be a fantastic event with many of the world’s
leading experts in the field of youth entrepreneurship. I have no
doubt that your investment of time and effort in attending this
Global Summit will yield a handsome return. This will be great
business, business as unusual!
Thank you and have a fantastic Summit.
Andrew Devenport
CEO
Youth Business International
“This week represents
a fantastic opportunity for
you to share your expertise
and learn from others, as
well as meeting your YBI
network partners face
to face.”

4. THEPRINCE’S
TRUST
“The Prince’s Trust is proud to support the Global Youth
EntrepreneurshipSummit.Since1983,we’vehelped80,000
young people from across the UK to start up in business.
This summit is a great opportunity to share our experience
with partners from across the world and to learn from their
experiencesoftransforminglivesandcommunitiesthrough
enterprise.”
Casestudy1:FrankColzie
Frank was unemployed for a number of years after losing his
job. After countless rejections, struggling to find work he started
suffering from depression, insomnia and anxiety. He was fixing
bikes at this time to keep himself busy, a great hobby of his.
He turned to the Trust to turn this hobby into a business. Frank
was given a ‘Will it work grant’ to test his idea.
He sourced second hand bikes to refurbish and re-sell, the
profit from this he used for an Advanced Bike Mechanics course.
Frank then took on a shop front. His business mentor gave him
the essential knowledge to set up Re-Cycle Bristol, selling
re-conditioned bikes.
“I would never have been able to set up my
business without the help of The Prince’s Trust. I am
really pleased with the success of Re-Cycle Bristol
and I hope to see the business grow.”
Casestudy2:VeronicaNoonan
At the age of 17, Veronica Noonan, from Wakefield, found herself
homeless while studying a two year art course, and had to live
in hotels for the homeless. She couldn’t even afford the bus to
college. Despite this Veronica passed her art course with a triple
merit grade and then secured a flat.
Veronica was now more determined to make a success of her
life and decided to train as a plumber, gaining a City & Guilds
level 2 qualification. She was then in and out of voluntary work,
work placements and a job outside the sector, which she was
unfortunately made redundant from.
Veronica then heard about The Prince’s Trust Enterprise
programme, which gives support and funding to help young
people set up their own businesses.
With the help of a business mentor, she put together a business
plan and launched her own plumbing business, Sugar-Plumb
Solutions in 2011. It has been a real success giving Veronica a
regular income.
The Prince’s Trust supports over 55,000 young people a year into work, education and training. Our Enterprise programme helps
aspiring entrepreneurs to develop and test their business ideas, before providing them with low interest loans and mentor support to
start their business. The Prince’s Trust is a member of Youth Business International. Here are two case studies of young people who
have benefited from the Enterprise programme in recent years:

TRACKS
6. The Global Summit is a gathering of the world’s leading youth entrepreneurship experts. YBI has
designed a range of specialist tracks to help our experts learn from and share with each other. These
specialist tracks, which will take place throughout the week, are focussed on four key areas of YBI
support. Join the YBI online community to connect with your fellow specialists and share your
learning.
SpecialistTracks
ataglance
Specialist Tracks at the Global Summit
Mentoring:
A successful mentoring programme can make a significant difference to the
ability of young entrepreneurs to succeed in business. The Mentoring Specialist
Track will have a strong focus on knowledge sharing, exploring good practice
and networking.
Monitoring, Evaluation
and Learning (MEL):
The sessions have been designed to meet member MEL needs as defined
through prior consultation with all participants regarding both content and
format. As such, the Track is designed to be as interactive as possible, taking
a ‘learning by doing’ approach, and focuses on key learning questions that
have emerged across the network.
Technology:
The Technology track of the Global Summit is primarily for those members
who are using or soon to be using, YBI’s Operations Management System
(OMS), which is built on Salesforce.com. The Track aims to build a community of
OMS users, increase skills and confidence and work towards defining a
roadmap for the specialism.
Training:
The purpose of the Training Specialist Track is to enable YBI members to
maximise the effectiveness of their youth entrepreneurship training activities.
In particular, it aims to establish the best ways to share best practice in youth
entrepreneurship training, understand the role of technology in training, and
explore opportunities for working in partnership within and outside the network.
