ABOUT CNIYEF

This strategic initiative was taken by CNI to bring together young business leaders so as to groom them to be the next generation of business leaders for Nepal. The main objective of this Forum is to help its members realize their full potential, so that young entrepreneurs can contribute fresh, effective ideas and feedback for the future of Nepal’s businesses. CNI recognized the need to cultivate a core group of Young Entrepreneurs and CEO’s aged 40 and below to be the next generation of business leaders to steer Nepal ahead in the local and international arena. It is a membership based non-profit organisation, established with a vision to bring together entrepreneurs and business leaders in Nepal, who can co-create ideas, learn and grow businesses. With a successful start in Kathmandu, CNIYEF is open to expanding branches across Nepal, with a view to cover all provinces of Nepal.

CNIYEF helps in moulding and grooming young leaders at an early age, which becomes an entry point for them to foray into a larger business platform - CNI. One of the major objectives of CNIYEF is to help influence external policies of the government at the macroeconomic and financial level. It helps in getting the youth aligned with this.
