Youth Business International

Who we are

We are the global leader in youth entrepreneurship. For over 25 years we’ve combined global influence with local knowledge and expertise. Young entrepreneurs have the power to boost employment and drive economic growth, their fresh perspectives and bold ideas also have the potential to reshape industries and societies for the better. But for too many young people starting a business feels out of reach and they need the right support to succeed.

At Youth Business International we support aspiring young entrepreneurs around the world to start, scale and sustain their businesses. We develop and scale the most effective solutions to help young entrepreneurs succeed, from developing business skills, driving innovation and nurturing talent to unlocking finance and access to markets.

All work with young people is delivered by and designed in consultation with local experts and organisations enabling us to successfully deliver global programmes with bespoke solutions in varied context. Our model enables us to deliver a wide range of solutions that span geographies, respond to thematic priorities and evolve with new technologies and fresh challenges.
