Texas Global proudly hosted 14 YLAI / Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative Fellows in Austin last month. During their time in Austin, Fellows were placed with host organizations where they were immersed in the U.S. business settings and contributed to projects. They also created business pitches and engaged in professional development on strategic partnerships, AI, and sustainable growth. Beyond their placements, the cohort connected with the Austin startups and communities through networking events, site visits, and time together across the city. Thank you to IREX, the U.S. Department of State, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and our Austin partners for helping make this program possible. #YLAI2026 Texas McCombs School of Business Austin Technology Incubator League of Rebels ACC Bioscience Incubator STG Design Austin Voices for Education and Youth Tech Ranch Two Hives Honey HIT ATHLETIC Vela Wood FlexPoint Consulting SXSW FIESTA
