Young ones will have the opportunity to learn life skills, in particular, to develop their entrepreneurial capabilities at the sixth annual Kuala Lumpur Children’s Business Fair.
Originally started in Austin, Texas, the Acton Children’s Business Fair has grown to over 455 fairs all around the world, serving 23,022 young entrepreneurs in 206 cities and 12 countries, including Malaysia which first started in 2017. It is the largest entrepreneurship event for children, and gives children the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses.
The children are solely responsible for the setup, sales, and interaction with customers, and are encouraged to do it all independently. During the past years’ fairs, products such as handmade origami jewellery, a customised service to mail physical cards to loved ones, financial literacy advice, and toys for children, have been featured.
