The
Africa’s Young Entrepreneurs (A.Y.E) has been declared as the largest
entrepreneurship network in the world.
The
Global Entrepreneurship Institute, a global reputable body based in Washington
DC in the United States of America made the declaration in statement issued by
the organization.
The
institute said that A.Y.E. through a systematic research process, emerged the
largest entrepreneurship network, with membership totaling over 12.6 million
entrepreneurs.
A.Y.E.
which was founded by Summy Smart Francis according to the Institute beat
several other entrepreneurship platforms around the world to emerge the largest
global entrepreneurship network.
Sequel
to this global recognition, Wikipedia has long recognized Africa’s Young
Entrepreneurs (A.Y.E.) as the largest economic network in Africa. Wikipedia
states that the A.Y.E. “has gained its place in the world” as the largest
economic group in Africa https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Africa%27s_Young_
Entrepreneurs.
Since
its inception A.Y.E achieved the feat through its innovative global
entrepreneurship programmes which includes Harvest Africa (A program that
showcases investment opportunities in Africa), AYEEP (Africa’s Young
Entrepreneurs Empowerment Program), AYESA (Africa’s Young Entrepreneurs Student
Association), MY MENTOR & ME (an online mentorship platform)

a platform where entrepreneurs showcase their businesses to angel investors)

AYEEN,
a division of AYEEP is an annual empowerment program where entrepreneurs pitch
their businesses/ideas to seasoned business experts for grants, training and
equipment (www.ayeen.ng) and also the newly launched A.Y.E Entrepreneurship
Reality Television Show, transmitted on 10 satellite and terrestrial stations
viewed by over 60 million viewers across Africa and Globally tv.ayeonline.org.
A.Y.E.
was also recognized as having the foremost entrepreneurship empowerment
platforms in Africa. This position has been consolidated with the recent launch
of Africa’s first entrepreneur software application; the AYE APP. The app is engendering
a connection of African entrepreneurs by effectively creating a more
closely-knit business interaction and networking.
Other
projects embarked on by A.Y.E to develop and empower Africa includes Empower
Borno, a humanitarian project in partnership with the Borno State Government in
Nigeria for the empowerment and redevelopment of the internally displaced
persons in the North Eastern part of Nigeria due to the Boko Haram insurgency
