International Youth Day is commemorated every year on 12 August, serving as a global platform to bring youth issues to the forefront and celebrate the immense potential of young people as vital partners in today’s global society. This day underscores the importance of addressing the unique challenges faced by the youth while also recognizing their contributions to fostering a more inclusive and sustainable world.
In Africa, one of the most pressing issues faced by many young people is access to finance, which is a critical barrier to unlocking their entrepreneurial potential. Without adequate financial resources, young entrepreneurs often find it challenging to launch or scale their businesses, limiting their ability to contribute to economic growth, job creation, and innovation. Recognizing this challenge, various initiatives have been put in place to bridge the financing gap and empower young entrepreneurs across the continent.

In line with this mission, we are proud to announce the launch of the Entrepreneurship World Cup in Tanzania, a transformative initiative aimed at providing young entrepreneurs with the opportunity to bring their business ideas to life. The Entrepreneurship World Cup is one of the world’s largest and most diverse entrepreneurship competitions, offering a unique platform for young innovators to showcase their talents, gain valuable insights, and access the resources they need to succeed.
This year, the Entrepreneurship World Cup in Tanzania is more than just a competition; it is a beacon of hope for the next generation of business leaders in the country. Young entrepreneurs from across Tanzania are invited to participate and stand a chance to win a life-changing prize of $1,000,000. This prize is not only a testament to the competition’s commitment to fostering innovation but also a significant investment in the future of Tanzania’s economy.

The competition is open to all young Tanzanians with a vision for creating impactful businesses that address local and global challenges. Whether you are at the ideation stage, already running a startup, or looking to scale your business, the Entrepreneurship World Cup provides the support, mentorship, and exposure needed to turn your dreams into reality.
