Supporting young entrepreneurs in developing countries

The next Midi de la Microfinance “Supporting young entrepreneurs in developing countries” will showcase how financial inclusion can strengthen the contribution of young entrepreneurs to the economy of the Global South. This Midi will allow stakeholders to discuss and exchange their past experiences and future plans for fostering youth entrepreneurship in developing countries. Youth entrepreneurship therefore also represents a strategic focus area for Luxembourg and the global microfinance sector.

Mr Franz Fayot, Minister for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs of Luxembourg, will be joined in the discussion by Dr. Hannig, Executive Director of the Alliance for Financial Inclusion, and Patrick Losch, ADA Chairman.
