Africa is home to some of the world's most forward-thinking entrepreneurs. Young Africans are proving that no matter the idea, or how simple a solution, they are creating impactful change in the lives of others in communities around the globe.
With ALX's Young Entrepreneurs Programme, we've made it our mission to support those who want to solve problems, build businesses, generate revenue, and create jobs.
By providing entrepreneurs with the skills and support to go to market successfully, we prove our commitment to creating 2 million new opportunities for rising African talent across the continent by 2030.
Gain the skills, support, and community you need to launch your business. Designed for early-stage entrepreneurs with a demonstrated commitment to build a business and already have a minimum viable product, we provide the tools and accountability you need to attract customers and go to market.
Learn from experienced entrepreneurs who have gone before you; leave with a solid foundation to refine, shape, and expand your business.

YEP Graduates On The Move
“YEP allowed me to streamline my services and to gain new customers. The 1:1 coaching was what contributed most to my experience in the programme. I really appreciated having alone time with a dedicated business coach.”
Refiloe Maluke, Founder of Digital Spot
“I relaunched my business and got my first paying customer who purchased my highest consulting package partly because I was able to gain more value to offer her from participating in YEP.”
