The organization’s vision: The creation of a leading executives reserve through the provision and enrichment of an international networking platform. The organization does this via tens of prestigious meetings held worldwide, where executives exchange ideas, listen to lectures on business topics, and promote various humanitarian goals. Included among the lecturers at global YPO events are: Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, Bill Gates, and King Abdullah in the Jordanian Chapter.

Founded in 2002, YPO Israel, today, has as members many tens of CEOs and corporate presidents from leading Israeli companies.
