The City of Johannesburg’s Youth Directorate is excited to announce the inaugural #MadeInJozi Youth Summit, a groundbreaking event aimed at empowering the youth of the City.

Taking place on Saturday, 8 June 2024 at the Brixton Multipurpose Centre from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the summit is set to tackle critical issues faced by Johannesburg’s youth, such as unemployment, while shining a spotlight on the plethora of opportunities available within the City.

Bringing together young entrepreneurs, business owners, individuals in tourism and hospitality, and creatives, along with representatives from City entities and private sector exhibitors, the summit will serve as a platform for knowledge sharing, potential collaborations, and fostering civic engagement among the City’s youth.

Renowned industry experts will deliver keynote addresses and engage in panel discussions on topics ranging from leadership and entrepreneurship to innovation and social impact, providing valuable insights for the aspiring young leaders of Johannesburg.

Coinciding with South Africa’s Youth Month in June, the #MadeInJozi Youth Summit aims to empower young individuals to not only succeed but also make meaningful contributions to the City’s socioeconomic development.
