at E+I @ 850 PBC

This Global Innovation Gathering (GIG) session features Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI) fellows - visiting international entrepreneurs from across Latin America and the Caribbean - brought to Phoenix by the Global Ties Arizona team. They're building in cleantech, edtech, cultural enterprise, sustainable infrastructure, and more. This is a rare moment to hear directly from founders shaping the next generation of innovation across the Americas, and to find your next connection across borders.
