Stars-Like-Us and African Network of Youth Policy Experts (AFRINYPE) are organizing international cooperation for young, new entrepreneurs from Africa, attracting investors for young entrepreneurs and start-ups to discover markets for their goods and services
Young Africans are ambitious and talented, so it is worth encouraging young people to work on themselves in order to achieve the goals of a better life for themselves, their families and friends rather than seeking illegal routes to opportunities in the West through desperate travels and illegal emigration.
Escaping to developed countries through illegal routes doesn’t always guarantee the future that young people seek. The risks being taken through the Atlantic Ocean and Deserts are worthless and unproductive.
Africa now offers new opportunities for individual development through the Young Africa Enterprise. AFRINYPE in cooperation with STARS-LIKE-US opens a new flagship initiative called ‘Young Africa Enterprise’.
International Market Opportunities
- One of the key aspects of the YAE programme is to showcase the possibilities of international markets in Europe, Asia, and America to young African entrepreneurs by facilitating access to these markets. The programme aims to expand the reach of African goods and services globally. This not only benefits the individual entrepreneurs but also contributes to the overall economic development of Africa by promoting trade and collaboration on a global scale.
Attracting Investors and Entrepreneurs
- The YAE programme presents an attractive opportunity for investors who are interested in supporting emerging talents from Africa and doing business in Africa. It highlights the potential for growth and innovation within African enterprises and aims to attract investors who are looking to make a meaningful impact while also seeking profitable investment opportunities. Additionally, the programme invites entrepreneurs from around the world to engage in collaborative efforts with young African innovators and start-ups, fostering a diverse network of talent and expertise.
Knowledge Development in Enterprise
