Young entrepreneurs have been urged to come up with innovative ideas for doing their business successfully, facing all the possible challenges tolerantly.
Business leaders, experts and a minister came up with a joint call at “Global Youth Entrepreneurs Summit -2015” held at city’s Krishibid Institution Auditorium on Friday.
Dhrubotara Youth Development Foundation (DYDF) in collaboration with the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) organised the event to encourage young generation entrepreneurs in new and innovative businesses.
“Running a business is a very challenging job for the new entrepreneurs but a real entrepreneurial quality is to struggle and make a business plan successful,” said Information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu while addressing the summit as chief guest.
Urging the new young entrepreneurs to work hard and to do businesses with dedication, the minister said: “Everyone has a dream and has to focus vigorously to climb onto the top of that mountain.”
He also urged the young entrepreneurs to make best use of IT and ICT.
Besides, the minister suggested the young generation to remain cautious from cyber terrorism and its bad impact on their bright future.
The global youth population is 100 crore 80 lakh, who can bring a huge demographic dividend to our world, said DCCI President Hossain Khaled.
If young generation is encouraged to be self-employed, they will bring significant change in the economy creating investment and employments, said Khaled.
Khaled inspired the new youth entrepreneurs to nurture innovation and newer ideas.
He also said that energy, enthusiasm and innovation were the characteristics of today’s youth generation.
He later urged the juvenile entrepreneurs to keep patience in doing their businesses as businesses have risks, ups and downs. In Bangladesh, 5 crore 50 lakh people are aged between 15-34, he said.
To promote new entrepreneurship, DCCI already initiated E2K project for creating 2000 entrepreneurs in the country in partnership with the Bangladesh Bank.
