Deadline: March 24, 2023

Applications are open for the Young Transatlantic Innovation Leaders Initiative Fellowship Programme 2024. The Young Transatlantic Innovation Leaders Initiative (YTILI) is the U.S. Department of State’s flagship programme for emerging entrepreneurs from Europe.

Since its launch in 2016, approximately 300 alumni from across Europe have bolstered their business skills and transatlantic partnerships through the YTILI Fellowship Programme. YTILI uses entrepreneurship as a tool for economic empowerment to promote mutual understanding, enhance business and leadership skills, and build lasting partnerships between business leaders from Europe and the United States. YTILI will empower a new cohort of young European business and social entrepreneurs to grow their ventures, foster global partnerships, and positively impact the economic development of their communities. 

Programme Details

The YTILI Fellows Programme is a two-way exchange programme designed to strengthen the transatlantic relationship, develop sustainable partnerships between U.S. and European entrepreneurs and innovators, promote regional integration and cooperation in Europe, and encourage European businesses, governments and civil society to develop their innovation ecosystems.

The programme includes a customized virtual YTILI entrepreneurial curriculum; a fellowship with a business or organization in one of nine U.S. cities; opening and closing conferences; and alumni engagement opportunities. The 2024 YTILI Fellowship Programme will begin with the virtual curriculum in the Winter of 2024 with the U.S. fellowship scheduled for Spring 2024.

Funding

  • The YTILI Fellowship is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.
