Youth Business International:
Global Conference in Hong Kong

Youth Business International (YBI) has chosen Hong Kong as the first ever Asian venue for this 4-day biennial conference. Hosted by the Federation in association with Youth Business China (YBC), it opens on 31 October at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre. The Hon Henry Tang, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR, is Guest of Honour and keynote speaker at the ceremony and Mr Andrew Devenport, Executive Director of YBI in London, will then give accreditation to Youth Business Hong Kong (YBHK).

Impact and Innovation is the theme of the conference, a concept which mirrors Hong Kong's vibrant, highly competitive economy where many youthful entrepreneurs are trying hard to gain economic independence. YBHK is our local programme for these bright young business people.

  • You, as a partner, mentor or donor, can give guidance, advice or backing.

Please join us. Contact Louisa of YBHK at 3113 7999 for more information and read this week's Feature Story below for feedback from the young entrepreneurs themselves.
