Youth Business Launchpad '24

Youth Business Launchpad #YBL2024

Protea Glen Mall in partnership with Iyathile Events is proud to announce the first annual Youth Business Launchpad initiative #YBL2024. This youth month initiative will be taking place from the 16th of June throughout the end of the month. This is a Corporate Social Investment (CSI). Under the theme “Cultivating Futures,” we are dedicated to empower and showcase youth-owned small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs). This theme reflects our dedication to the growth and nurturing of young entrepreneurial talent. By providing a platform for these burgeoning businesses, we are not only fostering their immediate success but also committing to their long-term development. If you're a youth owned business join us and be a part of the following activities:

• The Showcase Zones
• Workshops and Talks
• Networking Sessions

Designated areas within Protea Glen Mall for youth SMMEs to display and sell their products or services for two weeks.

Sessions will be led by industry and business leaders with the aim to inspire and educate youth SMMEs.

These are opportunities for young entrepreneurs to connect with potential investors, mentors, and peers.
