The National Executive Economic Collective
South Africa’s foremost youth-led economic advisory and execution platform, the National Executive Economic Collective (NEXEC) exists to professionalise the participation of young people in the country’s economic life. Operating at the intersection of the state, capital, and youth, NEXEC works with public institutions, corporates, and development partners to design, structure, and support youth-inclusive economic solutions that move beyond rhetoric into delivery. Its work is grounded in institutional credibility, professional discipline, and a commitment to measurable outcomes.
Bespoke Economic Advisory and Development

Get To Know Us
NEXEC was established on the understanding that youth unemployment and economic marginalisation cannot be resolved through protest alone, nor through policy intent that fails to translate into delivery. It therefore positions young people not as symbolic participants in the economy, but as professional actors, advisors, designers, and implementers within it.
NEXEC therefore positions itself deliberately between the state, capital, and young people. It translates youth realities into institutional language, and institutional mandates into implementable economic interventions. This intermediary role is central to its identity and purpose.
Through its work, NEXEC supports institutions to design, structure, and deliver youth-inclusive economic solutions that are credible, implementable, and measurable.
