Today, the Young Americas Business Trust (YABT) celebrated the official launch of the Seventh Young Americas Forum in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, marking the path towards the X Summit of the Americas. This event brought together high-level representatives, strategic partners, and young leaders committed to sustainable development, social inclusion, and digital transformation across the Americas.

“Addressing Youth Unemployment: The Importance of Connectivity and Emerging Technologies” was the theme discussed at the recent Regular Meeting of the Inter-American Council for Integral Development (CIDI) of the Organization of American States (OAS), held on April 30, 2024, and organized in partnership with the Young Americas Business Trust (YABT).

The second Regular Meeting of 2024 of the Summit Implementation Review Group (SIRG), held in Washington, D.C., concluded with a call from the youth to the Member States of the Organization of American States (OAS) to prioritize support for youth participation, entrepreneurship, and investment in youth. This emphasis is crucial as it reinforces the role of youth in addressing the “challenges, hurdles, and opportunities leading up to the X Summit of the Americas,” to be held in the Dominican Republic in October 2025.

Youth are invited to be part of the III Young Americas Meeting. The youth activity of the 54th Regular Session of the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS) is taking place on June 24 and 25 at the San Ignacio de Loyola University (USIL), located at Av. Venezuela 2087, Asunción 001533, Paraguay.

“I am very happy for this country that has given me the opportunities, not only to stand out as a teacher and as an entrepreneur, but also as a human being”. With these words, Orianna Zanotty, a young Venezuelan entrepreneur living in Peru, concluded her intervention with the results of her Workshop during the Youth Dialogue: Migration, Development and Integration, held in a hybrid format on June 16, at San Ignacio de Loyola University (USIL) in Lima, Peru.
