G20 summit

The communiqué in brief urges action in five areas:

• Access to funding: Governments therefore should support alternative mechanisms and institutions that provide young entrepreneurs with the capital they need to start and grow their businesses.
• Coordinated support: Governments should encourage greater collaboration and cooperation among organizations across the public, private and non-profit sectors, both within our countries and across international boundaries.
• Entrepreneurship culture: Examples of entrepreneurs who have overcome these and other challenges are role models who can serve as powerful teachers and we encourage our governments to find ways to share these positive examples.
• Regulation and taxation: Governments should reduce the administrative burden for early-stage businesses founded by young entrepreneurs and enact tax measures that will encourage their growth.
• Education and training: Governments should encourage entrepreneurial education that value real life experiences – in our schools, colleges and universities and through non-traditional, community-based means.
