JCI South Africa’s CYE (Creative Young Entrepreneur) is an annual Competition event that provides a platform for young entrepreneurs to showcase their creativity, innovation, and business acumen. The event celebrates young people’s entrepreneurial spirit and recognizes their contributions to the South African economy.
CYE is part of JCI South Africa’s broader mission to promote young people’s leadership and service. The organization believes that entrepreneurship is an essential part of creating positive change in communities and has thus prioritized initiatives that support young entrepreneurs.
The event features a range of activities designed to help young entrepreneurs grow their businesses and develop their skills. Participants have the opportunity to attend workshops, network with other entrepreneurs, and receive feedback from experienced mentors. The highlight of the event is the CYE competition, where participants present their businesses to a panel of judges. The competition provides a platform for young entrepreneurs to showcase their innovative ideas, business models, and products to a wider audience.
The CYE competition has several categories, including tech and innovation, agri-business, tourism and hospitality, and social entrepreneurship. The winners of each category receive cash prizes, mentorship opportunities, and other resources to help them grow their businesses. Through CYE, JCI South Africa is playing a vital role in supporting young entrepreneurs and promoting economic growth in South Africa. The event provides a platform for young people to showcase their entrepreneurial talent and connect with other like-minded individuals.
