Congratulations: the topics you have chosen to work on are the right subjects. These are the stakes that are going to change the world tomorrow. But, while discussing, be sure of the reasons why you are talking about these topics: the WHY is what really matters. Is it to make more money? Wrong answer. Is it to be more efficient? Wrong answer. Is it to really build the futur of the world? Yes, that is the right answer.

Many summits are show horse, not workhorses. Many summits have too many people gathering to listen to big figures, but in an impersonal building. Many summits are just an excuse for a good escape and business card exchange, but not about days of learning about themes/new people. A great summit - is the one where you learn new things, you meet new peers, and you get inspired- all that with a zest of close community, and of marvelous natural surroundings and arts. The G-20Y Summit is just that, especially for the set of young leaders ready to take a step up in their career, and build new leadership.

It has been a pleasure and honor to attend the G-20Y Summit and support the G-20Y Association.

You know there was such mood of cooperation, of future understanding I would say. That was really great.

G-20Y Summit brings a magnificent group of people together who have adopted a global philosophy and perspective.

The G-20Y Association has utilized an effective selection process and following this selection came an in-depth work, consultation, evaluation and idea-sharing platform. In my opinion, G-20Y Summit is an efficient international think tank and networking platform that will mark the future.

The way the Summit was organized enabled me to learn and at the same time, thanks to the positive synergy existent, led me to contribute as well.

I would like to congratulate everyone who contributed and who attended the summit. I wholeheartedly will continue to support the G-20Y Summits and the G-20Y Association.

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.

I think the most important thing is to have different cultures, different people, different companies with different interests and all of them in different committees; that they are working together, merging ideas and arrive at consensus. And I think the young perspective which is a different thing – we don't need to make recommendations under any precision of politics or different kind of pressure you have if you are only a company or if you are only representative of government. So I think we can have an opportunity to be fresh, innovating, and creative in order to present a proposal that more recommendations could be actions. I think that the young people would like to take action more than make recommendations.

The whole idea of G-20Y Summit is that young people bring their ideas that might be controversial, that might be a little provocative, but are fresh. And they share it with the business community. I think and I hope that what we accomplished during these three days will actually be meaningful and will impact the decisions and discussion of G20 leaders.

I just have a habit – wherever someone asks “who?”, I just put my hand up.  And this is not the best habit I have but when they asked the volunteer to be Co-Chair – I just thought that I have relevant experience as a former consultant, as a former Head of Strategy of VTB group and a business leader now. I think I have the relevant experience to talk about financial stability and financial regulation, which was the topic of our committee. And I think it’s a very important topic and it’s really one of the top items on G-20Y Summits agenda. Because without financial stability as we’ve seen before it’s really impossible to deliver growth, to deliver prosperity. I really enjoyed working with our committee members, we had ten people from different countries, different economies: Europe, UK, Russia, Malaysia, and Japan. It was interesting to see what similarities we have, what differences we have and different and similar ideas that we share. I think it really enriched my understanding of the industry at the global level and I believe we were able to deliver some meaningful and practical recommendations.

The most interesting moment for me of the Summit was the dancing master-class, because I’d never thought that you can learn how to dance tango in 30 minutes. I think our teachers did a very good job: very simple moves that everybody could repeat and learn within 30 minutes. It was a very good G-20Y and a very fast delivery of results.

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.

You have many business meetings during the year, you have many seminars where you learn something, but these are always in your industry with the same people talking about the same topics. So bringing together business leaders from different industries, geographies, different levels across the G20 – this is interesting. I mean you don't often have the opportunity to talk freely, open-mindly about these kind of topics and discuss the challenges and thoughts of G20 of today.

The Co-Chairing was an interesting experience, because in the end of the session you had a different perspective, different people to integrate. I thought about it before doing the Co-Chairing: one of the important things is not to lose somebody during the process.

Arriving here I saw very fascinating group of people, acting together, discussing together and for me the first step towards understanding G-20Y was to see that this is like a market place where international global people can, without borders in thinking, be together and this is for me the most important aspect.

G-20Y for me stands for creating a global world of communication. We don`t have problems understanding each other and we are probably not creating results, but we are creating the right solutions to create results in the future.

My job was always communication; I’m probably an expert in crisis communications. I think G-20Y is a fascinating opportunity, where people can start to communicate and start to discuss with each other, have the opportunity to meet people from Europe, from Brazil, Australia or Russia, and Italy, and Spain and to share experiences. That is the fascinating world of G-20Y.

I’m a part of a huge financial organization. The whole financial world is today seen a lot in the media. We have here the opportunity to show that we are interested to have a dialog with a lot of people who want to change the world, to develop a new way of acting together. I think it’s very important not only for me but especially also for the industry to have this opportunity to be in an international dialog. I think it’s a great opportunity!

It's a really good opportunity for people from India because this is the second time we had a delegation to G-20Y Summit. I'm only one person but I hope that probably the message from us will be that more and more Indian participants should be here, because it gives real good chance to interact with people from many countries and to get to know all sorts of issues, global issues which are current and which need to be addressed in future.

The evening events were really enjoyable – especially the day before we had concert over here – it was really enjoyable.

I expect that we will be able to put together a few recommendations to the G20 governments and that these recommendations will contribute to improving the working conditions and living conditions of citizens across the world.

The organization is fabulous. I can only say the words of compliments and I have been very impressed with both: the quality of participants and the way the event is organized.

I would be very delighted to continue and I definitely recommend this event to my colleagues in Schneider.

Having been nominated by DSM, I felt very honored to be able to attend this event as it had always been a dream for me to participate in such a venue. The G-20Y is for me the small version of the WEF and a learning ground for young executives to exchange thoughts and ideas, make connections and work on the future with other smart people. Having more and more burning issues in the world, such as the economic crisis, the change of demographics and the environmental shifts to name just a few, I think it’s fantastic to exchange views with a wide variety of people and to come up with suggestions that might help to shape our future positively.

It's pleasure for me to be invited for the G-20Y Summit. 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.

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 working process was wonderful. Because we can see a lot of people from other countries: Brazil, from Malaysia, even from UK –a UK person works in China, he shared his experience in China and also from US. We share all information and all the practices of how to fight corruption in our country. We are very surprised that there is actually only one conference – United Nation Conference about fighting corruption and also UOECD conference against bribery.  But I think not all the countries have ratified and implemented the conference, maybe  we should give some views, some recommendations that all G20 countries and other countries can implement the United Nation Conference and UOECD conference against bribery. There have been discussions that fighting corruption, money laundering and also bribery and financial terrorism are linked together, so every country should be aware about these issues, this not only a problem of developed countries.

My president  attended G-20Y Summit last year in Mexico, he asked senior level manager in Bank Mandiri, he shared his views of G20 of last years, so this is a good opportunity. We are going to send our senior manager to G-20Y Summit.

I think it's a very good opportunity for me to attend G-20Y Summit. This is first time I have attended an international Summit with different views and different subjects. I usually attend workshops or meetings about banking, just only banking but there are more issues we can discuss together.

I think G-20Y is such an important event in the world because as the young leaders we have to tell the world what we think and what we should accomplish in the next few years, because we have a responsibility to make things change and make a better world.

I worked on the “City of tomorrow” Committee – we had a broad issue to talk about, we tried to figure out what the city of tomorrow would be like and one of the things that I’m very happy to see in the result is that we talked about local communities – how we should design the cities of tomorrow with strong local communities where you can actually get involved as a citizen in your community to share services and actually go further with the challenges the city now faces.

The G-20Y events are nice because you actually have a lot of real work during the day it's so much fun to work with a bunch of people from all around the world with different backgrounds – this is very interesting. And then at night you can socialize, talk to those same people by the way with a more personal feel – this makes the entire experience, so much fun.

My favorite event was the opening Gala ceremony. Our company Desjardins, we got an award for our 3-year friendship with the G-20Y. So it was quite nice experience for us to receive that award.

There was no question of whether to participate or not actually when the invitation arrived because, for our company, it is incredibly important what exactly is on G20 agenda, not only this year, but in general. Over the last period of time Unilever was Co-Chairing the “Food security” Committee on the B20 initiatives in Rio with a quite valuable contribution, I hope, to the Communiqué which was produced by this committee. For us food security is not just an empty word and we really look to this agenda and how it’s being approach by the government on the G20 level.

What was specifically interesting about the Summit, actually, was the combination of participants which attended. The executive level of the biggest international corporations and some of the real big and significant Russian corporations, as soon as we are in Russia we are speaking about this, representatives of the international non-governmental organizations as well. I believe, this is an incredible group of people, I believe, team of people, who got together in St. Petersburg are really invested their time, not having to open e-mail and stuff which we left behind in office, but really invested our time, being focused on the agenda, which is with us today; and really trying to share the best ideas, many fresh ideas by the way, the most creative ideas I’ve ever heard, on those important areas of real G20 interests.

The program is really sophisticated: dance master-classes, the whole atmosphere of the classical music, combination of it and really amazing atmosphere of the city itself. It's the best season in the city. I believe it's something that going to be quite memorable.

It`s important to be here: from the political part and also from the private part.

It's a unique experience to meet 20 countries partners and discuss the same themes. It’s shows that we are going to the same direction – we want to have the same result. For sure a discussion of the mid or long term will be useful for me and for Brazil and for all the countries. 

About the organisation I just have to say that everything is perfect!

In my eyes, the G-20Y Summit is a unique opportunity to interact and communicate to motivated young ambitious c-executives; and to also interact with people from other business sectors.

I think it is super important to have the young generation of c-executives round one table at such aconference to exchange ideas,and to forward these ideas to those who are really on the steering-wheel regarding the future of our planet. I believe by havingworked out our papers we can somehow, let’s say contribute to the future and a better development of the world, whereby in our working group`s case especially regarding the financial world.

I believe it was quite useful, quite interesting, even if we were discussing theoretical topics mainly,but this is the purpose of this one. It was in any case also interconnected withreal life and with taking concrete action in the future. I was also able to extend my network, meet interesting people, which I will follow up with in the future. I found it quite useful, also to experience St. Petersburg, which is truly a nice place for this event. I also enjoyed very much the side events.

My favorite one was the yachting regatta – it was really good fun. We had perfect weather, even if we were lacking wind, so we were not really going that fast, but nevertheless it was good fun. Unfortunately we only got the second place – so we were the first loser. But nevertheless it was not really about competition – it was much more about fun and communication. For me it was alsoa nice opportunity to have my daily swim in the Gulf of Finland. I really enjoyed it very much.

G-20Y benefitted both me personally and also RBS. The different cultures and points of views were interesting and refreshing. What came out most is that the challenges that our customers have in the UK are also the same challenges that customers have in many different countries from India to France. This gave me excellent insight into new solutions for our customers and also into how RBS could better support at a macro level, the UK economy.

Agenda

G-20Y Summit 2016 tentative agenda

St. Moritz, Switzerland, 21-25 September 2016

  I. Energy Markets Committee

 We are living an unprecedented energy transition. A pillar of economic growth, a driver of global development, a tool to reduce our carbon footprint and mitigate climate change: energy is at the center of a very profound transformation of our world. In the Energy Markets Committee we reflect on how all of this will play out and what we can contribute as individuals, organizations and thinkers to keep the north in a very turbulent period.

 In 2016 the Energy Markets Committee of the G-20Y Summit will discuss:

  •  How can we adapt to new market forces, new dynamics, and the volatility they are generating? What has to be changed, transformed or adjusted in our companies, institutions and individual behavior to make it work?
  • After the COP21 in Paris, what are the steps we should take to tackle climate change in the most efficient and cost-effective way?
  • What additional disruption (e.g. new technologies) can we expect in the following years and how can we embrace the change to build a better future? How can we best finance, mitigate and manage the cost of this transition?
  • How can we conciliate global forces and local dynamics to build a coherent and efficient framework?

  II. Food Security Committee

 A fast-growing world population, estimated to reach 9.1 billion in 2050, presents numerous challenges, many of them requiring scientific and technical solutions.

The Food Security Committee recognizes three critical themes among these challenges—food security, water security, and energy security, all in the context of sustainability and climate change—and the Society is organizing a series of conferences to address them.

 Today, about 800 million people go without sufficient food.

 The main aim of the work of the Food Security Committee of the G-20Y Summit is to establish recommendations on how to produce and provide healthy and safe food in a sustainable manner to the rapidly growing world population.

 In 2016 the Food Security Committee of the G-20Y Summit will discuss:

  • Sustainable access to fresh, healthy food for all nations;
  • Achieving sustained inclusive, agriculture-led growth of food production and supply.
  • Engineering adaptation and mitigation aspects of climate change;
  • Barriers that are most relevant to regional food security, including recent sanctioning policy, leading to limited access to fresh and diversified food supply. 

 III. Global Financial Industry Committee – Banking Sub Committee

 The Global financial crisis of 2007/08 was the worst financial and most severe liquidity crisis that Europe and the rest of the World faced since the Great Depression in the 30s. Since then, the G20 has fundamentally reformed the global financial system. The overall objectives are to build a safer, more resilient source of finance to better serve the needs of the real economy. By reducing the risk of future financial crisis and creating a more robust banking system these reforms are an essential prerequisite to the overall G20’s primary objective to enable strong, sustainable and balanced economic growth.

However, despite significant regulatory achievements to date (e.g. the principles of Basel III and recovery and resolution planning) the volume of financial regulation continues to increase and is becoming more nationally/regionally focused, very prescriptive, and sometimes even conflicting.

In addition, we see new players emerging that partially compete with the established market participants but do also offer a chance to fill the gaps where banks are forced to retrench more and more from certain activities due to the increased pressure caused by the regulatory environment (e.g. interest rate hedging, subprime lending, securitization).

This trend comes along with the advancement of new technologies addressing specific client needs where digitalization serves as accelerator for many Fintech companies, occupying promising niches but quickly gain scale rolling-out their business model globally and disrupting the financial services industry on top.

As a consequence, new business models are arising that are competing against traditional banks as end-customers turn to providers of alternative services. Some services are increasingly covered by players in the shadow banking sector that are not regulated and where pricing is sometimes suboptimal and counterparty risk is higher.

In 2016 the Global Financial Industry – Banking Subcommittee of the G-20Y Summit will review and analyze the challenges and chances of those developments for the Banking industry as such, strategic implications for traditional banks and to what extent business models of those banks need to be adjusted over the next years to ensure they continue to fulfill their macroeconomic mandate as financial intermediaries. Specifically, some key areas will be analyzed during the Summit:

  • What are recent developments in the largely unregulated non-bank financial sector and what are threats but also opportunities for the ‘traditional’ banking industry?
  • What are the strategic implications of the increased regulation as well as recent developments in the industry to the business model of global (universal) banks and what are potential scenarios for the next 5-10 years?
  • What is the impact of digitalization and other emerging technology trends (e.g. Blockchain) to the financial services industry and what is required of market participants to benefit from those trends?
  • What are the recommendations to policy makers, regulators and market participants to ensure an efficient and well functioning banking sector which continues to fulfill its macroeconomic mandate and to ultimately achieve the overall G20’s primary objective of a strong, sustainable and balanced economic growth?

  III. Global Financial Industry Committee – Insurance Sub Committee

 In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, G20 member States have made considerable headway in global financial reforms aimed at preventing a repeat of the financial crisis.  The risks faced by the insurance industry are relatively different than other financial sectors.  While regulations are being reviewed in different parts of the world, other trends are also transforming the insurance industry, among them, the climate change, the ageing of the population and the impact of digitalization and big data.

 In 2016 the Global Financial Industry - Insurance Subcommittee of the G-20Y Summit will discuss:

  •  Appropriateness of Global Insurance regulation and the need for harmonization;
  • Digitalization and emergence of the sharing economy;
  • Climate change and prevention;
  • Pension funding; and Privacy issues and moral hazards around big data.

 IV. Global Demographic Developments Committee

 The world’s demographics is coming to an interesting turn. Historic discussions mainly focused on the explosion of the population in developing nations, and the stress that it gives on food, water, energy, and other social infrastructure and resources. Where that phenomenon still holds true, another angle is becoming simultaneously pronounced to complicate the matter – the decline of the workforce. The developed world’s workforce is forecasted to peak out and started to decline as of next year – to shrink 5% by 2050. China’s population is anticipated to peak by 2030, but the population between 15-65 will already decline before 2020. The country with the world’s largest population will quickly become the largest aging economy.

 In 2016 the global Demographic Developments Committee of the G-20Y Summit will discuss the following – putting a light on this element that impacts global economy.

  •  What is the significance of the declining workforce in the global demographics trend, how does it differ among segments, and what is the impact and implications to the society and global economy in terms of supply and demand?
  • What additional changes/scenarios can we foresee in the 10-20 years?
  • How can we adopt to this new dynamics and what are the potential levers that G20 countries may consider to apply? What can companies, institutions, communities, and individuals do to adjust to this reality?

 V. Creating Jobs Committee

 On 25 September 2015, the 193 countries of the UN General Assembly adopted the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda: “Transforming our world'”.

 The Sustainable Development Goal No. 8 aims to “Promote sustained and inclusive and economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all”. The UN goal makes it clear that sustainable economic growth is significantly linked with full employment and work for all. Last year the Creating Jobs Committee’s work was concentrated on the following issues:

  •  Youth unemployment
  • Women empowerment and gender equality
  • Labour supply and demand planning

In 2016 the G-20Y Summit will work towards continuing to create powerful solutions to the challenges we, as generation G-20Y, are currently facing in these areas. The Creating Jobs Committee of the G-20Y Summit will raise the issues tackled throughout the 2015 summit, while simultaneously adding new ones to the agenda:

  • Talent development
  • Entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship
  • How to make the labour market accessible for everyone (the elderly, disabled, migrants, or any other population groups who may suffer from discrimination in terms of job accessibility)
  • Coping with structural unemployment

 VI. Digital Innovation and Transformation Committee

The focus and impact of the internet and development of digital technologies are happening concurrently at an accelerated pace.  Individuals are becoming increasingly empowered with persuasive access to real-time information through social networks and mobile devices. Businesses and entire industries are under tremendous pressure to transform their operating models using digital technologies to address changing customer expectations.  Regulators and policy makers have a key role to play in unlocking the enormous economic and social benefits from the adoption of digital technologies while mitigating the associated risks. Society’s transformation from consumption and productification to knowledge and efficiency and steps supporting that is the real focus for digital and innovation acumen.

 In 2016 the Digital Innovation and Transformation of the G-20Y Summit will focus on various sub-topics including:

  •  Promoting reliable and affordable digital connectivity
  • Cyber-security and online data privacy
  • Creation of platforms to facilitate new partnerships, collaborations, mind sets among stakeholders  
  • Digital innovation in the public sector, such as Education and Healthcare
  • Data regulation and governance (EU directive etc.)
  • New business models based on effective and efficient platforms and usage
  • Technology transformation from client-server to cloud infrastructure
  • Societal adaptation to new technologies.
