I believe the vision of the G-20Y Summit is to make a real and independent contribution regarding what the young generation of business leaders think around the issues the G20 has on its agenda. The G-20Y Summit brings together devoted participants from around the globe with diverse professional backgrounds onto a platform of creative thinking in order to develop some fresh ideas regarding potential solutions.

It's pleasure for me to be invited for the G-20Y Summit for the first time. It's been interesting two and a half days of work. There was a lot of discussion. I think at the end we have been in a position to have a positive dialogue between different members of the Committee. And we have been able to find and put together a nice compromise on a number of controversial matters.

I think it's great to have young business leaders, participating in the G-20Y Summit, who come together from a broad variety of expertise and cultural background, and who come together to discuss certain topics of particularly interest at these times and who try to find the solutions. I think it is not important to have technical expertise in each of the subjects, discussed at the G-20Y Summit. I think it's great to bring in your general expertise, your cultural background and a lot of common sense to come to some proposals which otherwise couldn’t be brought up.

We are fortunate that we had participants across a multiple different countries across the world, from different types of organisations, from different sectors. We had a very interesting lively debated times. I think it was of a very high quality. I realized the depth of the conversation to be going on in the each of different committees. I think the whole concept behind the G-20Y is great.

The composition of delegates was excellent. People were inspired by each other, provoking different ideas and exchanging diversified opinions. I think the G-20Y Summit IOC’s decision to have different industry involved in different committees was an excellent choice.

Also I see practical and realistic approach by getting G20 local governments involved in the G-20Y Summits. The young business leaders were the people who created the G-20Y Summit Communique. However, our Communique are eventually about the global policies, which should be conducted each government of G20 countries. Therefore, the idea to have local government ministers or vice ministers in the G-20Y Summit Committees worked very well, as we let them hear our innovative ideas and we made our communique reflected onto their policy.

I want to express my sincere appreciation to the G-20Y Summit International Organizing Committee. This event was a real opportunity for young business leaders to share their views on today’s world main challenges. The ongoing collaborative relation between the delegates was a real pleasure to me.

When an event like this is successful, the credit starts with the organizing committee. Please accept my compliments regarding your team’s fine work and excellent planning. The thoughtfulness you have shown has made the G-20Y a worthwhile experience.

I congratulate you on both a successful and a memorable Summit. I hope to work cooperatively with you in the future.

I want to thank you for the excellent event you put together in Mexico City. The quality of the participants and of the discussions at the plenary sessions and committee meetings was excellent and I believe we produced a very good communiqué.

I also wanted to thank you for your companion and positive attitude during the summit. I have myself organized a few less ambitious events and know how hard it can be. Thank you for making it so easy and fun for us to participate.

I hope that your trips back from Mexico City are uneventful and enjoyable. Please let me know how I can be of assistance during the next steps and next summit.

The 4th G-20Y Summit will take place in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, from 21 to 25 August 2013, just 2 weeks before the meeting of the G-20 Heads of States in the same city.

The objective of the G-20Y Summits has been the preparation of a set of recommendations by young business leaders to be disseminated across the world and shared, in particular, with the G-20 Heads of States and leading international organizations such as IMF, World Bank, OECD, European Commission and Basel Committee of Banking Supervision.

The G-20Y Summit participants are c-level executives, owners of world's leading companies according to "Forbes Global 2000" list and of national leading companies, or individuals in leading positions with governmental or public institutions.

Annually we select the top 100-200 delegates from an elite group of 300-400 candidates already nominated by their companies as top young executives (30-50 years old). Our participants are exceptional individuals with a track record of achievement and excellence.

On the basis of an agenda prepared in advance by our 2013 participants and an Advisory Board about 200 selected delegates, representing all of the G-20 countries, will prepare and discuss the final G-20Y Summit Communique 2013.

The G-20Y Summits add value not only to the G20 leaders’ efforts in responding to the global economic and financial challenges, but also they serve as a unique opportunity for outstanding young business leaders and individuals in leading positions with governmental or public institutions to gather together in an exchange of ideas and best practice, encouraging stronger personal and professional relationships.

The G-20Y Generation represents successful young business leaders from the G-20 countries. Every day, new business innovators, ground breakers, trendsetters and leading minds with outstanding skills, distinguished professionalism and exceptional abilities, are joining the G-20Y Generation with a commitment to thinking one step further ahead.

The G-20Y Generation cannot afford to stand aside or rely on the efforts of others, with a distant hope that the G-20Y Vision might, eventually, be achieved. The G-20Y Generation wishes to contribute with innovative ideas, to share its vision and to enrich international debate. The G-20Y Summits are organized every year in order to turn the G-20Y Vision into practical Recommendations.
