For many young entrepreneurs, accessing a supportive community and tailored resources to help them succeed can be a challenge. The EYE Academy, created with insights from YBI members and Youth Business International’s 25+ years of experience in supporting youth businesses to succeed, is now available to young entrepreneurs aged 18-35, anytime and anywhere.
On 23 February, the EYE Academy team will give an introduction to this new learning experience for youth businesses, including a look at some of the resources included in our Young Entrepreneur subscription, a tour of the communities and accessible features available, and a chance for interested young entrepreneurs to ask questions. There will also be a special offer for attendees provided during the event.
The event, ‘Introducing the EYE Academy for Young Entrepreneurs’, is free to attend and will take place online at 12 pm UTC. If you are a young entrepreneur – either supported by a YBI Member or currently looking for support – or anyone who is currently working to support youth businesses to succeed, you are welcome to join us to learn more about how the EYE Academy can help you achieve excellence in youth entrepreneurship.
Launched in January 2026, the EYE Academy is enabling YBI Members to deepen their knowledge and scale their support for young entrepreneurs. By providing online learning and peer support that can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection, young entrepreneurs can access the tools they need to succeed.
Whether you are currently supported by an enterprise support organisation (see the EYE Academy website for information about a discount for entrepreneurs supported by our members), or you’re just starting on your business growth journey, the EYE Academy offers courses and learning tools developed specifically for young entrepreneurs to take advantage of limited time and resources, overcome barriers, and take their small business to the next level, regardless of industry.
Youth Business International’s EYE Academy provides tailored youth entrepreneurship resources and dedicated, lively peer communities, bringing together young entrepreneurs, support organisations, mentors, and coaches on one inclusive platform.
With tailored resources, live and on-demand training, and a vibrant community, the online platform turns YBI’s expertise into accessible, practical support that helps young entrepreneurs grow their businesses and boost economic impact locally and globally.
