G20 YEA - a North African delegation invited for the first time to the Entrepreneurs G20, under the leadership of INSKIP

This is a first - a delegation of emblematic entrepreneurs from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt, who have raised up to €17M, will represent North Africa at the G20 Young Entrepreneurs Summit in Italy, on October 5 and 6, 2021.This delegation participates, along with the French delegation that invited it, in the Summit that brings together every year more than 400 entrepreneurs from G20 countries. This year's Summit will be held under the theme "Global Renaissance", and will explore the role of entrepreneurship for an inclusive and sustainable post-COVID-19 economic recovery. The G20 Young Entrepreneurs aims to promote the development of international entrepreneurial ecosystems, and each delegation develops concrete recommendations that are then delivered to their respective governments. For Maxime Guillaud, CEO and founder of INSKIP: "We must relay the political will through concrete actions that will strengthen the economic bridges that connect Africa to France in both directions. And more broadly to Europe. For INSKIP, "It is in our DNA to accelerate the entrepreneurial ecosystems on both continents, and especially to be a force of proposal through partnerships that benefit entrepreneurs today.
