Youth & Student Entrepreneurship
Building entrepreneurial thinking among students and encouraging young people to become innovators and job creators.
Why it matters
GEDC places special emphasis on developing an entrepreneurial mindset from an early age.
We envision a generation of young people who do not see employment as their only career option, but also understand their potential to innovate, build enterprises, solve problems, generate wealth and create employment for others.
Through entrepreneurship awareness, practical exposure, mentoring, innovation programmes and interaction with successful entrepreneurs, GEDC aims to help young people move from Learning to Ideas to Experimentation to Innovation to Enterprise to Employment Creation.
