Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, through the State Youth Institute (INJUVE), launched the call for the “Yo Emprendo” program with the aim of fostering entrepreneurial spirit among young people. This initiative seeks to provide in-kind aid ranging from 8,000 to 21,000 pesos, enabling young people between 18 and 29 years old to launch new businesses or establish self-employment projects, thereby strengthening the youth economy and promoting business development in Baja California.
“Our young people have access to scholarships and aid to undertake entrepreneurial ventures, fostering self-employment and business creation. As such, we provide them with the necessary tools and knowledge for their professional development, which will allow them to turn their ideas into productive projects,” stated the governor.
