The 16th Annual Summit for G20 Young Entrepreneurs Alliance was held in Vienna, Austria on September 16-18, 2026. Hosted by Gürkan Yildirim, President of the Young Business People Association of Türkiye (TÜGİAD), President of the European Confederation of Young Entrepreneurs (YES for Europe) and G20 YEA European Union President, who welcomed young entrepreneurs from the European Union, Canada, Brazil, South Africa, Türkiye, France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, China, India, Argentina, Sri Lanka, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the African Union, Nepal and many more. With some insightful panel discussions, quality networking and on the final day a Communiqué with a call to action for global leaders on how to progress entrepreneurship.
One of the highlights of the week for me was taking part in the Family Office session introduced by Alex Gill and moderated by Murat Günenç.
We are witnessing a massive structural shift: today, one out of every three dollars flowing into startups and SMEs comes from family offices, and more than half of newly formed offices are founded by former entrepreneurs. Exploring this evolution alongside Patrick L. and Peta Milan (She/Her), bringing in our perspectives from Corecam Family Office, reinforced just how quickly traditional capital is transforming and creating fresh opportunities across the global ecosystem.
Now it’s time to turn the Vienna Communiqué and these strategic dialogues into real-world impact and cross-border ventures. Looking forward to the next chapter as the torch passes to the UK.
