AI Youth Business Center
About
AI Youth Business Center (AI YBC) is a digital platform designed to bridge the gap between young people, AI skills and the real economy.
The platform enables young people aged 15–30 to learn and apply AI by working on real business challenges submitted by companies. Instead of focusing primarily on certificates, AI YBC creates a Skill Passport based on demonstrated skills, completed projects, mentor feedback and practical results.
The platform combines:
-
AI Mentor and personalised AI guidance
-
real-world company challenges
-
AI-assisted business plan development
-
Skill Passport and competency assessment
-
AI-powered matching with companies, internships and jobs
-
mentor and expert networks
-
entrepreneurship and innovation support
-
grant and funding opportunity matching
Partnership opportunity
We are looking for European technology, AI, research, education and ecosystem partners interested in co-developing and piloting the platform.
Potential areas of collaboration include:
-
AI assistants and conversational AI
-
AI-powered skills assessment and matching
-
intelligent recommendation systems
-
AI-based business and innovation support
-
knowledge management and RAG
-
data and analytics
-
AI literacy and digital skills
-
real-world AI pilots with companies and SMEs
-
cross-border deployment and scaling
The platform can provide partners with a real-world environment for demonstrating and validating AI solutions with actual users and business challenges, rather than isolated technology demonstrations.
What we bring
We bring the platform concept, business model, MVP direction, challenge-based methodology, Skill Passport concept and a clear regional scaling vision.
What we are looking for
We are particularly interested in partners that can contribute AI technology, R&D capabilities, technical development, pilot environments, company networks or access to European ecosystems and projects.
Our goal is to develop AI YBC into a scalable European use case connecting AI, digital skills, youth talent, companies and innovation.
Potential cooperation: co-development, pilot projects, technology integration, consortium building and European-scale deployment.
