The culminating event of the NFTE Entrepreneurship 1 and Entrepreneurship Essentials programs is the Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge, where NFTE students compete for seed capital to launch their business or pursue educational goals. Each Regional Final competition is judged by a panel of experts that includes business leaders and successful entrepreneurs who volunteer their time to support NFTE entrepreneurs.
Join us to celebrate the life-changing impact entrepreneurship education has on our youth. Mark your calendars for the October 8, 2025, National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge in New York. We hope you’ll plan to attend.
