🌱 Event Recap: Youth Entrepreneurship in Green Economy 🌍 Our 2nd webinar for the Climate Incubator Mentorship Program was successfully held this morning (Apr 20). We are grateful for the insights shared by Kelvin Tsui and Rowely "Yen" Parico about their entrepreneurship experiences, challenges, and visions for a sustainable future. 🌍 Key Takeaways: ✅ Taking the first step: Even if you have great ideas, you can't go anywhere if you stay in your comfort zone. Taking action is crucial. ✅ Stay motivated: Believe what you are doing is meaningful. Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who share your mission, fostering knowledge exchange and mutual support. Remember to take breaks when necessary! ✅ Be genuine: Networking is not about what you can gain from others, but rather about learning from them. Be authentic if you want to cultivate lasting relationships. ✅ Find the right person: To establish long-term relationships with businesses, identify owners who have a genuine interest in your project and provide value to them. A healthy relationship should be mutually beneficial. ✅ Tips for writing funding proposal: Know your project well, learn from others and focus on the impact. Youth #entrepreneurship plays a vital role in the expanding green economy 🌱 . As governments and corporations allocate more funding, young individuals are encouraged to cultivate innovative ideas💡and explore opportunities in this promising field for building a sustainable future! 🌎 🙏 A massive thank you to all the speakers, attendees, and our team members for contributing to the resounding success of this webinar. We look forward to seeing you all in our next public webinar! #YouthEntrepreneurship #GreenEconomy #SustainabilityMatters #CreatingChange #Inspiration #Collaboration #Innovation #GreenEntrepreneurship #GreenWebinar #ClimateIncubator
