We are delighted to announce eight Future Entrepreneur 2024 finalists, representing six countries.
This international competition recognises a young person (or team) demonstrating the highest level of commercial acumen. The competition is for children within the age range of 11 to 15 who won the ABE Endorsed KidsMBA shark tank pitch. A judging team of entrepreneurial experts independently assess the entries.
Every year we see the standard rising so identifying eight finalists is no easy feat. We have to thank the judges, for taking on this challenge and congratulate all the young people who have done their schools proud!
