Dream. Build. Transform.
Promoting Local Innovation
Locally driven entrepreneurship is the most powerful engine for economic growth and sustainable development. Our Entrepreneurship & Innovation Pillar exists to turn that belief into action.
We empower young people and small business owners to move from idea to impact, to build ventures that solve real problems, create jobs, and fuel community transformation.
Entrepreneur Academy
Our Entrepreneur Academy is a flagship program that provides intensive, hands-on training in business development, leadership, and social entrepreneurship. Participants learn how to identify market opportunities, design scalable business models, and build ventures that not only generate profit but also deliver social and environmental impact. The program includes workshops, case studies, guest lectures, and mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs and professionals.
​
Goal: Help promising startups move from idea to implementation, and from survival to scale.
Startup Support & Incubation
Early-stage ventures often fail not because of bad ideas, but because of limited guidance and support. Our Startup Support and Incubation program offers mentorship, coaching, and tailored business development services to help young founders refine their ideas, test their products or services, and prepare for growth. We also connect them with industry experts, potential partners, and funding opportunities.

Goal: Help promising startups move from idea to implementation, and from survival to scale.
Youth Enterprise Grants
We offer small grants to youth-led businesses that demonstrate potential for growth, innovation, and social impact. In addition to funding, recipients receive capacity-building support, including financial management training, business coaching, and monitoring to ensure long-term success.​
​
Goal: Bridge the funding gap for high-potential youth entrepreneurs and de-risk their ventures for future investment.
Innovation Challenges
We organize nationwide competitions and innovation labs that challenge youth and entrepreneurs to design creative, homegrown solutions to Liberia’s most pressing issues—such as unemployment, waste management, food insecurity, and climate change. Winners receive seed funding, visibility, and technical support to pilot their solutions.

Goal: Spark grassroots innovation and provide a launchpad for transformative ideas.
