The Youth Business Summit (YBS) is a one-of-a-kind global business convention for VE students. During a dynamic week of business competitions, leadership events, and professional networking, rising talent from middle and high schools around the world display the professional skills and business acumen they have developed by running a VE company during the school year.
Longtime partner HSBC gave VE a grant to create the HSBC Opportunity Fund, covering the costs so students from underserved communities can participate in the 2020 Youth Business Summit.
