Ideas in Action: YTILI European Entrepreneur Pitch Event

The Young Transatlantic Innovation Leaders Initiative (YTILI) Fellowship Program is more than just an exchange — it’s a launchpad for collaboration and innovation across borders. Each year, YTILI connects Europe’s brightest entrepreneurs with U.S. leaders, sparking partnerships that drive fresh ideas, bold ventures, and sustainable growth. By fostering transatlantic connections, the program helps build stronger business ecosystems, encourages cross-cultural collaboration, and empowers innovators to create real impact in their communities and beyond.

As part of their fellowship in San Diego, the YTILI fellows will take the stage for a high-energy Pitch Competition. This is your chance to meet Europe’s brightest innovators, discover groundbreaking ventures, and be inspired by the next wave of global changemakers.

Following the competition, join us for a networking reception at Eureka!, a perfect opportunity to connect with the fellows, judges, and San Diego’s innovation community over food and conversation.

Join us to connect, network, and be part of the innovation!
