Calgary, Alberta - Two of Calgary's emerging entrepreneurs will be joining a delegation of 10 other Canadian business owners at the inaugural Young Entrepreneur G8 Summit (YE G8) in Stresa, Italy. Gena Rotstein, Founder and Philanthropic Advisor, Dexterity Consulting and Derek Major, CEO of Eligeo IT, are bucking the trends of our current global economy - these two business owners have set high, yet achievable goals for their businesses, and are well on their way to meeting those objectives.

What makes these two individuals unique?

1. Eligeo IT and Dexterity Consulting target a typically under-serviced sector - the small and medium sized businesses and those individuals who make them run
2. Initial funding capital for their businesses was provided by the Canadian Youth Business Foundation (CYBF)
