The Deputy CEO of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme, Abigail Swad Laryea has noted that the 2024 presidential pitch will take the same format as previous editions except for an increase in the prize award for finalists.
According to her “this year’s finalists will receive GH¢3 million instead of the GH¢2.5 million that was awarded to finalists last year.”
She spoke during the launch of Season 5 of the presidential pitch.
The Presidential Pitch for Young Entrepreneurs is a deliberate, systematic, and integrated policy initiative by the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) to boost the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the country.
The business competition, a revolution in the history of Ghana for young entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 40 serves as an incubating platform for existing businesses and capital funding from the government.
The initiative seeks to turn creative businesses by the Ghanaian youth into global business giants with the support of government.
The criteria for selection are feasibility, innovation, scalability, and potential impact of the business.
NEIP is calling for applications from eligible youth with an entrepreneurship spirit to apply for a grant to enable them to scale up their business.
