JCI City Plus along with JCI Mauritius are pleased to announce that the application for the 2023 JCI Mauritius Creative Young Entrepreneur Program will be open as from 29 June 2023 and we fervently urge young people of Mauritius to preserve their convictions.
The JCI Mauritius Creative Young Entrepreneur (CYE) Program, under the theme ‘TO KREATIVITE FER LA DIFERANS’, supports, recognizes, and awards extraordinary young people between the ages of 18 and 40 who successfully developed and implemented their business idea or concept. JCI Mauritius is eager to encourage innovative young entrepreneurs through this project as enthusiastic people who seized the chance to launch a new firm or have enhanced an already existing one. Also, this flagship event of JCI Mauritius serves as a venue for networking for businesspeople, collaborators, and the public.
WHO IS THE COMPETITION LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for Creative Young Entrepreneurs who have started a new business using creativity in product development, service development, and their approach to the market. Or, they have taken an existing business and incorporated creativity to solve a problem, or change a process, to create positive change in their business operations.

Our efforts in promoting this contest will assist in learning about, and honoring, these young entrepreneurs in our community.
