Young Business Dragons
The Young Business Dragons competition is aimed at recognising tomorrow's entrepreneurs and promoting the great talent pool of young talent that exists locally.
The event is organised and run by Young Dragons together with the support of our partners such as Welsh Government and University of Wales, Trinity Saint David.
We also work with partners such as Be the Spark, local authorities in Swansea Bay and business mentors from a range of supportive organisations in the region to enable us to provide high quality opportunities for our young entrepreneurs of the future.
The event not only provides a great learning platform, but also provides an excellent opportunity for sponsors to support entrepreneurial young people whilst also showcasing their organisation to those attending these events.
Now in its 6th year, the Young Business Dragons is aimed at over 4500 Year 9 students (13-14 year olds) from schools across four local authority areas in Swansea Bay. Each school team is asked to put forward their creative ideas for a business opportunity around a "theme. This year's theme is linked to ‘Good Mental Health and Well-being’ and is for students to come up with a product or service to encourage people of all ages to lead a healthier lifestyle, manage stress and develop confidence.
Over a series of heats the students come up with a business idea supported by a business mentor. A team is chosen from each school to attend a county final where 2 winners from each county attend the final hosted by Siany from The Wave and Swansea Sound.
The Objectives:
to help to develop student's entrepreneurial skills such as creativity, problem solving, innovation, negotiation and developing their selling and decision-making skills.
to help build stronger links between Education and Business in order to provide positive profiles for local and national companies.
to support curriculum activity, meeting the needs of the Welsh Baccalaureate.
to involve positive role models and mentors from the business community in supporting enterprise/employability skills development
to encourage participation from as wide a range of school students as possible
to nurture our innovators of the future
