Discussion note: Building networks for young entrepreneurs
September 19, 2024
Each YEPA workshop is accompanied by a thematic discussion note which is intended to help participants prepare for the workshop.
The note explores how effective networks can be constructed for young entrepreneurs and identify the keys to their success. It discusses the challenges young entrepreneurs face in accessing and expanding their professional networks. The note also highlights key policy actions that aim to link young entrepreneurs to the entrepreneurial ecosystem, helping young people to build their entrepreneurial networks. The note provides questions for reflection ahead of the discussion groups in the workshop as well as suggestions for further reading to help participants prepare for the workshop.
