DESCRIPTION:ABOUT YSEALI\nLaunched in 2013\, the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) is the U.S. Department of State’s signature program to strengthen leadership development and networking in Southeast Asia.

The startup stimulation process will provide participants with opportunities to connect\, develop common solutions\, and demonstrate their ideas along with their leadership skills in order to address complicated and pressing political\, social and economic issues. \nSUMMIT LOCATION – PHUKET\, THAILAND\nPhuket is the ideal location to host the summit due to its ongoing efforts to create a sustainable future.
