After the two-day event, participants will travel to business internships across the United States for the mentoring partnership with U.S. companies and nonprofit organizations.
The two weeks in U.S. cities will provide a hands-on experience in the American workplace and exposure to cultural aspects of American life. Closing ceremonies will take place in Chicago on June 29 and 30.
FedScoop will host The U.S. Innovation Summit on June 20 at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
