The ASEAN Youthpreneur Community (AYPC)

We build enduring relationships between ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs and world communities, harnessing these friendships to enrich lives and effect positive change.

Our work is anchored in the belief that cross-cultural interactions provide insights that strengthen understanding. These exchanges inspire action and enable collaborations for good.

Our programmes bring people together to share ideas, skills and resources to effect real change in areas such as healthcare, education, the environment, arts and culture, as well as livelihood and business.

We do this because we believe we all can, and should do our part to build a better world, one we envision as peaceful, inclusive and offering opportunities for all.

The Goals of ASEAN Youthpreneur Community (AYPC)

In an effort to promote youth’s participation in entrepreneurial activities, AYPC recognizes the need to establish a platform to foster networking and share best practices amongst young entrepreneurs in the region.

In addition to attain its goals in encouraging youth entrepreneurship, AYPC engages with Young Entrepreneurs (YE) Associations in respective country in order to support the economic potential of young people in the region.

The Goals of ASEAN Youthpreneur Community (AYPC):-

The goals of this program are for:

The Young Entrepreneur Programme!

The Young Entrepreneur Programme is a unique opportunity to explore and develop the talents of young entrepreneurs. It complements traditional learning by encouraging workshops, case studies and interaction with key business people on top of the participants own ideas.
For anyone thinking of starting a business, now or in the future, this programme presents an ideal opportunity. Unlock your own creativity, focus your inspiration, challenge yourself with confidence.

The programme encourages a link between business people, educators and students. Those who have created this vision hope that their efforts will leave a mark on the students who undertake this course.
