The spirit of innovation doesn’t stop with our established artisans and farmers. The Cape Riverfront Market, in collaboration with Old Town Cape and SendAFriend, is proud to host the Youth Entrepreneurship Festival again this year. This festival is a beacon of hope and opportunity for budding young entrepreneurs ready to take their first step into the world of business. With grants worth up to $500 each, generously provided by SendAFriend, we’re committed to empowering these young minds to dream big, innovate, and start their own ventures. It’s a chance to gain invaluable experience, community support, and possibly the start-up boost needed to make their dreams a reality.
Do you know a young, aspiring entrepreneur? Encourage them to apply before the deadline on Friday, June 28, 2024. This festival could be the beginning of something great, a platform where young talent is celebrated and nurtured.
