identifying women entrepreneurs who would benefit from such worldwide
exposure, or in giving us contact details of organisations which can
nominate possible candidates.
>
> The World Summits of Young Entrepreneurs are designed to provide a global
forum for emerging young professionals from diverse business and
socio-economic backgrounds. The past six summits have provided networking
opportunities to thousands of young entrepreneurs from around the world.
Hundreds of joint ventures have been initiated and
> more established enterprises have been strengthened through deals made
during and after the summits.
>
> The 7th Summit will gather a highly select group of 400 emerging young
entrepreneurs from 100 countries. They will receive hands-on interactive
training and a virtual trade show will facilitate and expedite the
development of joint ventures. Moreover, some 3000 – 5000
> entrepreneurs unable to physically attend the Summit, will be able to
participate from any Internet portal around the world.
>
> A number of awards will be given by UNIFEM, Bank of Montreal and the
Institute for Leadership Development. Some of the successful applicants
will be offered sponsorship to cover part of their expenses.
>
> More details are given on <www.ildglobal.org>

> · for selecting participants to the Entrepreneurs Summit;
>
> · for placing the profiles of the entrepreneurs on-line in the Virtual
> Trade Shows (even for the ones that are not selected); and
>
> · for surveying the situation of young entrepreneurs and producing a
> report.
>
> It is important to forward all nominations to the UNIFEM SARO office to
