The Global Youth Entrepreneurship Summit (GYES) 2024 promises to be a week of connection, inspiration and celebration.

This year’s event will be hosted in ‘City Under the Sun’ and hub of entrepreneurial innovation, Nairobi, Kenya.  The three-day Summit will take place at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies, a leafy and ecologically friendly oasis minutes away from the bustle of the city centre or the magic of the Nairobi National Park.

Across three days you’ll hear from inspiring young entrepreneurs, respected business leaders and entrepreneurship practitioners, as well as attending multi-formatted interactive sessions, a festival of learning, and the finale of our Global Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.

Over the three days we’ll cover the below cross-cutting themes.

• Responsible Entrepreneurship: Exploring responsible business to ensure young entrepreneurs are supported to provide decent work and drive green and social businesses. Focusing on promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
• Innovative Business: Young entrepreneurs are required to innovate to achieve economic prosperity, regional growth and social and sustainable impact and transformation. A.I., technology, and digitisation are major trends that will shape and disrupt the entrepreneurship landscape through the opportunities and challenges that they will bring.
• Diverse Support: To truly shape the future of youth entrepreneurship it’s crucial to provide diverse support to meet the needs of a wide variety of young people. From high-growth enterprises to solopreneurs, from Indigenous entrepreneurs to entrepreneurs with disabilities, ensuring that every young person has access to the support they need will enable them to start and run a successful business.
