Engage with OYA Community

Incubation Services

OYA works with the youth to enhance their technical, entrepreneurial, business, and digital skills as well as other transversal competencies to enable them to successfully manage the labor market transition and establish startups / SMEs in the agribusiness.

Collaborating with national organizations, OYA builds a strong network that provides quality support to youth-led startups and MSMEs. Using innovative approaches, youth-led businesses’ capacity is strengthened on product development, marketing, customer-orientation, and access to new markets (including virtual markets).

The OYA IDEA App, developed in collaboration with Bridge for Billions, connects young entrepreneurs with mentors from all over the world to accelerate the growth of new entrepreneurship communities and foster an entrepreneurial culture. As a web-based service, it provides a highly structured and qualitative digital mentoring & incubation experience through all-in-one access to 1-on-1 mentoring, a step-by-step incubation methodology with key definitions, business cases, and data visualizations.

In order to ensure the long-term viability of the approach, in each country of operation, the IDEA Hub is managed through a local incubation center. This means that local incubators are involved not only in both the running and administration of the programme, but also in connecting young entrepreneurs to mentors and providing the tailored support that reflects the national context within which the entrepreneur intends to set up their business.
