Entrepreneurs are rapidly becoming younger: the SME Corporation projects that young people make up almost half of aspiring entrepreneurs. This trend is due to numerous factors: entire niches have become vacant following the departure of Western companies, the government is actively providing support, technological services are developing, and marketplaces are growing rapidly. In addition, Generations Y and Z are notable for their special focus on self-fulfilment and creative thinking. What qualities and skills are essential for young entrepreneurs today? How do you choose the right direction when starting a business? What trends should you pay attention to in order to ensure an easy start? What tools exist at the state level to support young entrepreneurs, and in what direction are they developing? How can we grow entrepreneurs from student programmes all the way to a successful business? What are some of the challenges and problems entrepreneurs face when starting a business?
