Our partnership with Accenture: Driving Skills to Succeed Youth Entrepreneurship

With a partnership that spans more than 15 years, YBI and Accenture work together to support and skill young entrepreneurs as they start, grow and sustain their businesses—unlocking income streams, job creation and inclusive economic growth.

As a long-standing supporter of YBI, Accenture has helped YBI increase the size and impact of our global network. Today, the partnership is multi-faceted, and the network continues to expand the number of young people we support.

 Accenture acts as an advisor and partner to YBI, providing funding, time and skills to support our strategic development focused on empowering underserved youth. Accenture has furthered their investment in a more equitable future by helping an estimated 240,000 young adults (ages 18-35) through a new US$5.25 million grant to YBI. This builds upon our previous work together to equip almost 370,000 young people with the skills to succeed in a digital future. Over the last five years, Accenture and Accenture Foundations have awarded YBI more than US$18.5 million in both cash and pro bono services. 

 As part of its Skills to Succeed initiative, Accenture has provided valuable support to grow and strengthen YBI’s global network. A key aspect of our partnership has been stimulating innovation and digital approaches for both YBI members and young entrepreneurs, alongside building the core capabilities of members around the world in skills such as mentoring and training. The partnership is now poised to drive value through sustainability and inclusion— together, we will help enable young people to become responsible business leaders and a powerful force for change.
