The EYE Academy – Youth Business International’s new learning experience and community platform – will launch for enterprise support organisations (including YBI Members), practitioners and mentors on 20th January 2026. We will be holding an online event, Inside the EYE Academy: Unlocking Excellence in Youth Entrepreneurship, to give a tour of the platform, hear from resource contributors, and provide an exclusive offer to attendees.
The YBI EYE Academy team will be sharing an exclusive first look inside our new learning experience for ESOs on the platform’s launch day, 20th January, at 12 pm UTC. The event will include new resource highlights, a tour of the community area, and an introduction to accessibility features and the mobile app. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions directly to the EYE Academy leads, and can also submit questions in advance via the event registration form.
There will also be a special offer for attendees provided during the event.
Please note: This event will give a tour of the EYE Academy for ESOs. The young entrepreneur subscription will launch in February, and a separate tour will be provided. Details to follow.
Young entrepreneurs are the engine of innovation and growth, but too often they lack access to the right training and networks to succeed. Youth Business International’s EYE Academy addresses this gap – bringing together entrepreneurs, support organisations, mentors, and coaches on one inclusive platform. With tailored resources, live and on-demand training, and a vibrant community and peer network. It turns YBI’s 25 years of expertise into accessible, practical support that helps young entrepreneurs grow their businesses and boost economic impact locally and globally.
The EYE Academy is an interactive, regularly updated library of the best youth entrepreneurship training for catalysing support and scaling sustainable, inclusive youth businesses. Built on learnings from the YBI Learning Portal, it will replace this platform at launch.
