Through our network we assist young entrepreneurs who are unable to find support elsewhere, with a combination of access to capital, volunteer mentoring, and other business development services. Our approach enables the launch of thousands of new enterprises and significantly increases business survival and growth – key factors in job creation and sustainable economic development. Our role is to increase the capacity and efficiency of our members to enable them to grow, by providing technical assistance, sharing knowledge, developing common tools and quality standards, and by generating resources. We also expand the network into new countries in order to reach more young people in need. To deliver this support, we work with governments, businesses and multi-lateral and civil society organisations. YBI’s goal is to enable our network to support 100,000 new young entrepreneurs annually by 2020, thereby creating a total of more than one million jobs and making a significant contribution to the global employment challenge.
