Warren Buffet said, "I made my first investment at age 11. I was wasting my life up until then." This is the kind of mindset you will see at TiEcon Youth session. So, come to TiEcon Youth Track to witness the entrepreneurial power of the youth as they showcase solutions that can solve the world's toughest problems. Listen to young speakers who have achieved what is typically achieved by others in a lifetime.
