The youth Entrepreneurship Symposium’10 (YES) is an initiative by the nEbO entrepreneurship committee. In its third year running, this symposium aims to introduce youths to entrepreneurship, and to provide a platform for youths to be engaged within the entrepreneurship community in Singapore.
This 3-day event will be sprinkled with motivating talks by prolific entrepreneurs, problem solving sessions by established companies, industry visits and networking opportunities. One highlight of the symposium is a mass entrepreneurship game which will simulate conditions of a real business world. Ultimately, we hope to put across the concept of entrepreneurship to all participants in the most unique and fun way.
The Youth Entrepreneurship Symposium 2010 (YES 2010) is a conceptualized platform for youths to be engaged within the entrepreneurship community in Singapore. i.e. We aim to allow youths to take further action, to shape their dreams into reality. In essence, YES 2010 is going to focus on creating new youth entrepreneurs, and providing these youth with a framework to work with.
