Young Transatlantic Innovation Leaders Initiative
Azerbaijan, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, and Montenegro
As the U.S. Department of State’s flagship program for emerging European entrepreneurs, YTILI promotes innovation, transatlantic cooperation, and sustainable business growth. This September, Global Ties Detroit will host six fellows from Azerbaijan, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, and Montenegro. Over four weeks, fellows will work with local businesses and organizations, participate in a home hospitality dinner, go on site visits and networking events, and meet with leaders from Detroit’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Chair, Detroit Future City
The opportunity to welcome and work with international delegations visiting Detroit provides a very rich experience. To be engaged in this work is significant and very rewarding. The world is becoming smaller every day and Global Ties Detroit contributes greatly in building strong bridges with people and nations across the globe.
