At the European Business Summit 2010, ThinkYoung presented the results of its survey “Putting Europe back on track - What European Future Leaders think” and led an interactive panel discussion based on the main outcomes.

Referring to the questions used in the survey by INSEAD Business School and Accenture on how CEOs think Europe should be put back on track, the survey emphasizes what the young leading generation thinks - which issues Europe has to address in the future, and how these need to be addressed.

During this session, three outstanding European Future Leaders adressed the lack of European leadership and how to overcome it.

Antonia Sariyska (22), the president of JADE, the European Confederation of Junior Enterprises, Hugo Pereira (24), the president of AIESEC, the world’s largest student association, and Cosmin Malureanu (29), founder and CEO of Ascendia Design all agreed that action needs to be taken immediately in order to tackle the problems caused by the financial crisis. They concluded education to be most crucial to recovery; students should also be educated in taking on responsibility and developing entrepreneurial spirit.
