Coastland Center

Ignite your student’s entrepreneurial passion. The Greater Naples Chamber’s Youth Business Fair provides young entrepreneurs, from kindergarten through college, the opportunity to showcase and sell their product or service to the public. Through this hands-on experience, students learn free-market principles, gain insight into how the workforce drives the local economy, and experience the rewards of their hard work. Proceeds benefit the Naples Chamber in support of work-based learning programs for local students.

The Youth Business Fair is a one-day entrepreneurship event where students bring their business ideas to life. Participants gain real-world experience in marketing, sales, customer engagement, and financial literacy while receiving feedback from judges and the community. It’s an opportunity to practice essential business skills, connect with other young entrepreneurs, and compete for awards.
