Best young entrepreneur under 18 of the year
This award is for those under 18 years old (their age below 18 doesn't matter) who have stood out for knowing how to create a viable idea, or a company with a future. They must be the soul of the project and the axis around which the company revolves, although they are logically helped by their parents.
