The document discusses the Youth Enterprise program, which aims to develop innovation and entrepreneurship skills among young people. It provides an example of the program in Karnataka, India, where the objective was to build skills among local youth to develop real solutions to problems faced by Indian citizens. The program involved an idea camp, mentoring, developing ideas at an Intel technology lab, testing ideas, and pitching. Several ideas emerged from the program, including ventures to help farmers and provide health and education services. The Karnataka journey showed that context setting, idea development skills, multi-stakeholder engagement, mentoring, and customer connections are important for building deployable solutions.
