Where?
When?!
There is no such thing as youth entrepreneurship, there is simply entrepreneurship fullstop. It’s not easy to start a business whether you are a youth or older. What is required is a supportive environment from bank interest rates, venture capital support, tax system and appropriate education. We have had science and engineering training for over 50 years at undergraduate level and postgraduate level for some time and our graduates do final year projects. What can be commercialized from such projects? This is how go-ahead countries have made a start. Enough of conferences where politicians come to make platitudinous and banal speeches. Lets make a start.
Beautiful building! Hajealousy Hagain!
Sharon contribute , mature, reflect then reassess your value to society.
Wonderful programme, what are the qualifications, tickets, venue, charges etc?
