Nestle announced the launch of its new program for young entrepreneurs in the food sector. The Swiss multinational food and drink processing company headquartered in Vevey, Vaud, Switzerland, introduced its Youth Entrepreneurship Platform (YEP) on Thursday, Aug. 25.
Nestle said that the new initiative is aimed at helping youngsters improve their business skills. The program is also meant to empower young innovators so they can succeed in their businesses in the food trade. The company said that this would also help them tackle important challenges related to agriculture.
As per Confectionery News, Nestle’s new digital platform will provide future professionals with the knowledge and skills that they need to do better in their chosen field of food business. They will also be taught about growing their businesses, and the topics include many areas such as food technology, food science, product development, sustainable packaging, and other services.
Moreover, the YEP will bring together all of Nestle’s existing innovation initiatives and programs so they will be available in one place. Young entrepreneurs and innovators will be granted access to Nestlé Entrepreneurship Academy, where they will learn a lot of things and gain new experiences as well.
"At Nestlé we work with startups, entrepreneurs, innovators and researchers to drive innovation, bring good ideas to market fast and provide nutritious, sustainable and affordable products for a growing world population," Nestle’s chief technology officer, Stefan Palzer, said in a press release for the launch of YEP. "Our new digital platform supports young people to bring great ideas to life across the food value chain, shaping the future of food!"
Laurent Freixe, the company’s CEO for its Latin American business and founder of the Nestlé Needs YOUth initiative, further said that "Young entrepreneurs need guidance, support, and above all, opportunities and platforms where their voices can be heard and their ideas realized, and the Nestlé Youth Entrepreneurship Platform will help equip them with the skills, experience and mindset they need to kick-start their idea and business."
