The JA StartUp Programme is a practical and hands-on learning experience that provides youths with the opportunity to build a solid foundation for a potential start-up.

Participants in the programme will have the chance to bring their own ideas, or come up with an innovative product or service, validate their concept by appraising the market, and ultimately design a supporting business model they can pitch in front of a jury.

JA start-ups designed through the programme are built in such a way that by the end of the programme, should participants wish to carry on and launch their idea, they have the solid foundation upon which to do so.

The JA StartUp Programme is offered as a week-long bootcamp, with a networking event and pitching masterclass leading up to the Finals Competition.Finals Night 11th May, at 17:30, at Sir Temi Zammit Hall, University of Malta.

Winning teams proceed to GEN-E 2024, the largest entrepreneurship festival in the world, taking place in Italy later this year.
