About
FYSE aims to inspire and empower more young people in Asia to consider entrepreneurship. FYSEs flagship program is the Paragon fellowship, an annual regional program that selects and nurtures 100 young social Changemakers and entrepreneurs of up to 30 years of age and provides them as inspiring role models to our youth. Furthermore FYSE is hosting to the Paragon:2010 conference 2010 in India, in which they will bring aspiring and emerging entrepreneurs together to share ideas and approaches on social entrepreneurship.

Program description
