Formerly known as the Career Discovery Forum , Add Venture Forum (AVF) is a transformative platform designed to connect forward-thinking employers with exceptional talents while empowering students to shape their career paths through meaningful engagement with industry leaders.
The Add Venture Forum (AVF) 2026 is a premier national-level platform organized by the Leave a Nest group of companies. It is meticulously designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world industrial execution. AVF 2026 acts as a dynamic catalyst, gathering brilliant researchers, ambitious undergraduates, postgraduates, innovative startups, and global corporate leaders under one roof to shape the future of work. This year, our focus centers on cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset among researchers, skyrocketing graduate employability, and championing the integration of strategic TVET pathways to elevate high-value skilled careers.
With the theme for 2026, “Beyond Degrees: Building Real-World Talent,” AVF champions the idea that the next wave of innovation is driven by people, talented individuals equipped with the tools and mindset to create change. Join us as we bridge aspirations with opportunities and shape the future together!
