Vivacity Development has formally partnered with Temvert Empowerment Foundation as a Strategic Youth, Policy and Technical Partner for the upcoming Investors Connect UK 2026, scheduled to be held in September in London, marking a significant step in strengthening youth inclusion within investment and policy-driven conversations.
The partnership recognises Temvert Empowerment Foundation’s growing role in youth development, education, economic empowerment and community engagement, positioning the organisation to contribute meaningfully to discussions around economic participation, workforce readiness, and inclusive growth.
Through this collaboration, Temvert will lead youth engagement and mobilisation efforts, drawing on its networks to ensure strong participation from young people and community stakeholders. The organisation will also contribute to programme development by shaping conversations around youth empowerment, skills development, leadership, and access to opportunities.
In addition, Temvert will play a key technical role in the delivery of the event. This includes supporting multimedia production, coordinating video content, and enabling hybrid participation to ensure wider accessibility for both in person and virtual audiences. The foundation will also support storytelling and communications that reflect the realities, aspirations, and contributions of young people within the broader economic landscape.
Speaking on the partnership, Temitayo Olatunde, Founder and Executive Director of Temvert Empowerment Foundation, said the collaboration reflects a growing recognition of the role young people play in shaping sustainable economic futures.
“This partnership signals a clear shift toward inclusion. Young people have the ideas, the energy, and the capacity to contribute meaningfully to economic development. What platforms like Investors Connect UK provide is the access and visibility needed to translate that potential into real outcomes. We are proud to be working alongside Vivacity Development to make that happen,” he said.
Also commenting, Engr. Kemi Ann Melody Areola, the CEO of Vivacity Development said the decision to partner with Temvert was driven by the organisation’s strong connection to grassroots communities and its ability to translate youth engagement into practical impact.
“Temvert Empowerment Foundation brings both structure and authenticity to youth engagement. Their experience working at the intersection of education, economic empowerment, and policy makes them a valuable partner for Investors Connect UK. This collaboration strengthens our goal of creating a platform that is not only high level but also inclusive and representative of future workforce voices,” she said.
Investors Connect UK 2026 is expected to convene a diverse group of stakeholders across sectors, with a focus on unlocking investment opportunities, strengthening collaboration, and advancing conversations around the future of work and economic inclusion.
The partnership with Temvert Empowerment Foundation underscores a shared commitment to ensuring that youth are not only represented but actively involved in shaping policies, partnerships, and investment pathways that will define the future.
