A youth expo showcasing the talents of young entrepreneurs was launched on Saturday morning at the National Sports Council (NSC) hall at Roche Caiman after the official opening of the Youth Festival which took place at Palais des Sports earlier.
The expo was a chance for the young businessmen and businesswomen to expose and interact with the public regarding their businesses, creations and innovations. Several high government officials, members of the National Assembly and other guests, including the youths who were present at the opening of the Youth festival, came down from Palais des Sports to view the Expo.
