The event featured inspirational talks from successful young entrepreneurs, speed-networking and a mini-exhibition and was open to anyone aged 18 -30.
Speakers at the event included Brighton-based Raj Anand, who at 25 has already started his own highly successful internet business, Kwiqq.com. Raj is Business Week’s European Young Entrepreneur 2007 and Kwiqq supplies blue-chip clients worldwide, with bespoke social networking solutions from their offices at the Sussex Innovation Centre.

The event was hosted by Southern FM presenter, Nick Simon and the guest speakers were followed by a speed-networking session - a fast paced exchange of ideas and contacts. The event was supported by Legal & General.
There were also a number of experts on hand to answer the budding young entrepreneurs’ questions regarding accounting, employment law and intellectual property.
Event organiser, Jack Forester, Founder of YES Network said: “Listening to the advice of experienced and successful entrepreneurs is a highly effective way of learning about enterprise and inspiring young people to make their ideas happen. Many people aren’t aware that starting a successful company when you’re young is a realistic prospect and can be a hugely rewarding and fulfilling experience. We hope to help reduce the fear of failure for young people interested in starting their own business.”
