can hubs help host brilliant jobs competitions declared since 2011 as the main pro-youth economics network of Youth and Yunus?
ok i realise the world brilliant requires a value judgement - having researched entrepreneurial revolution over 40 years starting with my dad's views at The Economist, what I now value most is whatever stricture helps identify and celebrate links between youth 10000's greatest job creators - not that 10000 is a magic number but if one day I could spend rest of my life helping to edit a current league table of net generation's 10000 greatest youth job creators (alongside a league of 100 leaders of 2010s = youths most productive decade) then I would feel my life's search fulfilled (and that of several generations of my family who have been interested in the 21st C value sustaining MEME - Mobilising Media & Eductaion Economically
taking this as our valuetrue lens- which hubs http://youth10000hub.blogspot.com do you like- which are the most pro-youth economically? which are helping to create the new jobs of a million times more collaboration tech than 40 years ago? which are celebrating the greatest win-win-win models as that is the only way worldwide trade will turn out to be an ever better system for all our children's children

The incubator component of NeXcelerator will primarily serve the Washington, DC-Maryland-Virginia market. However, the accelerator component will draw clients from across the country. Washington, DC has been cited as one of the nation's most underserved markets for incubators. The DC metro region has a very large IT business community business that will spawn numerous technology ideas and potential entrepreneurs.
In respond to this growing demand for a new tech accelerator, The Fort, a for-profit accelerator that recently relocated to DC from neighboring Virginia, was immediately blessed with a grant from the DC government in the amount of $100,000. Local regional governments are eager to capitalize on the economic development that incubators/accelerators generate.
The Washington, DC Region also has one of the nation's largest and best educated African American communities that afford NeXcelerator a strong potential client base.
