JCI creative young Entrepreneur Award 2013

The JCI Creative Young Entrepreneur Award (CYEA) was launched internationally in year 2005 by Junior Chamber International, the largest young person organisation in the world, to recognize, honour and celebrate exceptional young entrepreneurs and the role of creativity in their success.

The JCI Creative Young Entrepreneur Award (JCI CYEA) was introduced to Malaysia in year 2007, with support by various ministries, to provide a competitive platform for our creative young Malaysian to compete in the international arena. Adding to its credibility, this award is administered in partnership with Flanders District of Creativity (FDC).  

The purpose of the JCI CYEA 2013 is to: 

• To honour celebrate Malaysia creative young entrepreneurs; 
• Promote and support business creativity and new enterprise development among youth;
• Show ourselves and government to be leader in creating, supporting and honouring the entrepreneurial spirit;
• Create interest in entrepreneurship among capable youth and encourage creativity / innovation;
• Generate media attention for Government support of creative entrepreneurship; and
• Adhering to the principles of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

JCI CYEA offers young entrepreneurs a key to the door of international opportunities. Winners of JCI CYEA have the chance to network, exchange business ideas and explore business creativity with other winners worldwide. Recognition through JCI CYEA not only increases credibility of nominee′s organisation, but also boosts creativity and innovation in the industry. This will not only benefit one organisation but will upgrade the reputation of the industry as a whole thus indirectly creating opportunities for other young entrepreneurs.

Our Malaysia Top 3 Winners will be competing with winners from different countries whereby ultimately 3 World Winners will be selected. They will be interviewed and are required to do a business presentation before the international judges during the JCI World Congress every year to compete for the prestigious JCI CYEA World Award. The JCI Creative Young Entrepreneur Award is definitely the most preferred and impartial award to recognise creative entrepreneurship.
