The Young Entrepreneur Awards are an annual scheme established by the Youth Business Network Foundation (YBN) through its network, Ghana Startup Network, with support from the National Entrepreneurship and Innovations Program and other partners to identify and recognize young entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial individuals who defy the harsh entrepreneurial challenges that young people face when attempting to establish themselves.
The awards, therefore, place a high value on innovative, enduring, and daring individuals who try to realize bold and clear-sighted ideas to establish businesses that create job opportunities for others, thus complementing existing efforts to solve Ghana’s development needs.
