The Young Transatlantic Innovation Leaders Initiative (YTILI) is the U.S. Department of State's flagship program which aims to promote mutual understanding, enhance entrepreneurship and leadership skills, and build lasting partnerships between business leaders from Europe and the United States.

The Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI) empowers Latin American entrepreneurs to advance their business know-how and build their venture (business or enterprise) through exposure to the Chicago entrepreneurial ecosystem. Entrepreneurs are placed in four-week fellowships at start-ups, small enterprises, small business groups, and NGOs, where they spend time job shadowing, work as part of a team on a project, join client meetings, and do industry-specific research.

Funded by the U.S. Embassy in Uzbekistan and administered by American Councils for International Education, the UBL program is designed for professionals in Uzbekistan, ages 22-40, engaged in business, entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship and innovation, and brings them to the United States to participate in tailored, professional fellowships for four weeks at a variety of for-profit and non-profit organizations, university business departments, accelerators, and relevant government offices.
