Young Entrepreneurs of the World (YEW)

1BusinessWorld in partnership with The Mentor Project are connecting the world of business and mentorship. The Young Entrepreneurs of the World is where students and young individuals from around the world can access a unique mix of benefits. This will inspire and engage them, as they are about to embark on their professional and entrepreneurial journey.

The primary focus of YEW is to give students access to ideas, case studies, and peers with similar interests and most importantly a wide variety of experts with whom they otherwise may not have an opportunity to engage.

The YEW program includes:

• The annual YEW Conference featuring entrepreneurs, advisors, and mentors
• Weekly programming, including webinars and networking opportunities
• Access to mentors from many disciplines
• Opportunity to participate in pitch and venture competitions
• Virtual career fairs and other employment opportunities
