Our Beginnings

In 2008, there was an initiative between ASEAN and China to form the
ASEAN China Young Entrepreneurs Forum, where the leading young
entrepreneurship associations from ASEAN and China would come together
for the development of entrepreneurship in the region. At that time,
Myanmar did not have a representative organization to participate in
this initiative. Due to this, under the guidance and support of the
Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the
Myanmar Young Entrepreneurs Group for formed in November 2009.

The Group participated actively in local and regional entrepreneurship
development events and grew rapidly. In June 29, 2012, the Group was
upgraded and became the Myanmar Young Entrepreneurs Association (MYEA).

The association is one of the primary architects and founding members of
the ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs Council and, in March 2015, it was
recognized by the Ministry of National Planning and Economic Development
of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar as the Lead Association that
will represent Myanmar in the Council. This cemented the association
not only as a local but regional player in the entrepreneurship
development space.

The main objective of the association is to empower young entrepreneurs
and assist in creating a vibrant entrepreneurship ecosystem in Myanmar.
As of today, MYEA has organized and participated in numerous events and
activities with a variety of organizations both locally as well as
internationally. Our members include an impressive pool of young
entrepreneurs covering all sectors of the industry, with diverse
abilities and expertise. We are passionate about the growth and
development of entrepreneurship in Myanmar and have a culture of a
Community of Friends. We stand ready to cooperate with others in the
pursuit of growth and development in Myanmar and the region.
At the present day, MYEA has over 1,500 members. In addition to that,
the gender is balanced ration among in all the members.
