Over the past decade, YEEP has served as a crucial platform for skills development, mentorship, and financial support for young Nigerians launching businesses.

This year's YEEP'26 boasts significant partnerships, with Flutterwave as the lead sponsor, Nestlé Nigeria as a corporate partner, and the Deputy Speaker’s Office of the House of Representatives lending its support. Flutterwave will showcase its payment infrastructure and SendApp, focusing on digital enterprise.

Benjamin Okezie Kalu, who will serve as Distinguished Guest of Honour. Ministers from Women Affairs, Youth Development, and Humanitarian Affairs are also slated to attend, signaling federal government backing for the youth enterprise agenda.

The summit will feature engaging panel and fireside sessions with prominent figures.
