A first-ever two-month Alexandra Youth Entrepreneurial Summit has pumped new vigour into the sleeping entrepreneurial spirit of the youth in the township.

This follows a partnership between Khulisa Social Solutions, the Greater Alexandra Chamber of Commerce (Galxcoc), Qalisa Hub, 243 Pro-network, Ubuntu Business, and TuksNovation which is designed to awaken the sleeping potential of the youth through a summit that was held in September to October at the Greater Alexandra Digital Incubation Hub.

The summit sought to empower young people in the township to realise the small business opportunities that exist around them and are designed to provide them with the necessary tools on how to leverage them.

Galxcoc is one of the only five SMME hubs in Gauteng that is fully equipped with digital resources for small businesses. The hub has also been appointed as the implementation partner of the Gauteng Township Economic Development Act by the Gauteng Department of Economic Development.
