Our partnership with Accenture

Accenture is a long standing supporter of Youth Business International and over the last decade it has been instrumental in helping us increase the size and the impact of our network. Today, it is a multi-faceted collaboration that is helping our network increase the number of young entrepreneurs we support. YBI members are providing budding entrepreneurs with access to business mentoring, training and capital, helping to hone their business skills and build their small enterprises.

Accenture acts as an advisor and partner to YBI, providing both funding and the time and skills of their employees to guide our strategic development. During the last five years, Accenture and Accenture Foundations have awarded YBI and our country members more than $18.5 million in both cash and pro bono services. 

As part of its Skills to Succeed corporate citizenship initiative, Accenture has provided valuable support to grow and strengthen YBI’s global network. Over the duration of our partnership, Accenture and YBI have worked together to equip some nearly 370,000 young people with the skills necessary for success in a digital future. A key aspect of our partnership has been stimulating innovation and digital approaches for both YBI members and young entrepreneurs, alongside building the core capabilities of members around the world in skills such as mentoring and training. The partnership is now poised to drive value through sustainability — together, we will help deliver sustainability and enable young people to become responsible business leaders and a powerful force for change.
