About
Swansea Youth Entrepreneurs Network is a project funded by the National Lottery within
The Centre for African Entrepreneurship.
It is about bringing together young people between 18 and 30, who are business minded - with aims to connect them with each other and with the support around them. We are building an inclusive platform for anyone who hopes to "maybe one day" start their business, and so it's a safe space for everyone, no matter where they are in their journey, opening new doors of opportunity and improving their access to certain tools they need for success.
"Your network is your net worth" - Porter Gale
It is important to find people with the same interests as you and who you can work with to achieve your goals. Your social capital and ability to build a network of authentic personnel and professional relationships is key.
