The Young Transatlantic Innovation Leaders Initiative (YTILI) Fellowship Program, led by the U.S. Department of State, supports young European entrepreneurs by providing tools to enhance business skills, leadership, and global partnerships. Since 2016, over 300 alumni from 40 European countries have participated in this flagship program, fostering economic empowerment and mutual understanding between Europe and the U.S. The fellowship aims to help entrepreneurs grow their ventures and positively impact their communities. Selected fellows will engage in a five-month virtual entrepreneurship curriculum followed by a four-week in-person fellowship with a U.S.-based company.
