Innovative Youth is a non governmental, independent and non-profit making national and regional youth platform that work towards empowering youth to foster entrepreneurial skills in order to try and generate a business activity by seeking new and innovative opportunities for the benefit of the society and the economy. The platform is based on five main strategic priorities, which include scientific research, programs, education, awareness and policy making. Innovative Youths is driven by the scope of empowering youths to start their own business activity and foster rural development. The organization mainly target youths between the age of 16 to 45, who are Maltese citizen or have been living in Malta for the past five years.
Innovative Youth work towards placing youth at the centre of the society and economy. In doing so, Innovative Youth work towards:
1. Being a consultative body for local public, independent and private institutions on all issues relevant to youth entrepreneurship and rural development.
2. Promote measures and mechanisms on youth entrepreneurship through government and institutional policies;
3. Influence the policy of national institutions on youth entrepreneurship related issues;
4. Increase the participation of young people in entrepreneurship as well as in the decision-making process towards business activity;

We have been active partners for the past years and we have implemented projects both on regional and national level. Such projects were funded by Erasmus+ as well as EEA Grants. These projects built the capacity of our organisation to be a suitable partner and be able to implement any typr of project. As a partner we are able to follow timelines as well as follow the budget and provide the nessecary documentation. We have a vast membership as well an audience that gives us support.
Our NGO has people qualified, experienced and with competences that are really inquired for working with young people. We should be able to offer expertise in that field.
We want to join the ALF network because we want to connect with similar NGOs acrosss the EuroMed region
