Our core purpose is the enlargement of the Global Network, by working towards and partnering for the creation of Junior Enterprises, National Confederations and Continental Confederations all around the world. We also develop and professionalise Junior Entrepreneurship where it is already rooted, through support, mentorship and connection initiatives.
Non-profit organisations formed and managed exclusively by university students, which provides services for companies, institutions and society at large. Discover the core elements of a Junior Enterprise below.
The Junior Enterprise concept (“JE concept”) aims to complement the traditional system of university studies by means of energising students towards adopting entrepreneurial activities during an early stage of their studies. By following a “learning by doing” concept, our members become empowered to confront entrepreneurial, personal and professional challenges in project work and gain a broad range of experience next to their educational aspirations.
Through the development of projects adding value to society, institutions and the local business environment, Junior Enterprises prepare tomorrow's entrepreneurial minds. Together we create lasting impact in the way businesses and the professional world interlock and engage with tomorrow's thought-leaders, innovators and high potentials.
By generating economic value in the local economy JEs are embedded in and through the transfer of academic competence into real-world, practical applications. Thereby, Junior Enterprises impact the local economy and the livelihoods of our worldwide members. We are not only delivering on our Sustainable Development Goal committments but also creating opportunity for growth and young professionalism.
Junior Enterprises collaborate worldwide as one network, confederated under National Confederations, the direct members of JE Global. With the support of global bodies, JEs are sharing knowledge and are employing common growth strategies year after year, becoming a global network of Junior Entrepreneurs.
Junior Enterprises and Junior Entrepreneurs represent some of the brightest and most gifted students around the world. Our members are committed, driven by a common, innovative purpose and act as entrepreneurial agents for change in their local ecosystems. By supporting our mission, you too can contribute to lasting impact.
