Junior Enterprise Movement

There are Junior Enterprise initiatives all over the world and JADE commits to support these initiatives. By doing so, we have helped spreading the JE concept not only in Europe (mainly through the JADE Enlargement Programme), but also in South America, Asia and the USA. In 2004 JADE and BrasilJunior - the Brazilian Confederation of Junior Enterprises signed the JE World Movement Agreement to start the process towards a global Junior Enterprise Movement.

  • The Junior Enterprise Movement provides a platform for multicultural learning and exchange, synergizing Europe’s youth.
  • Fostering the entrepreneurial mindset among students, Junior Enterprises provide a conducive and competitive learning environment.
  • Junior Enterprises develop future leaders with an understanding of, and dedication to social responsibility.
  • Valued by universities, Junior Enterprises are the first choice for student involvement.
  • JADE, the voice of the Junior Enterprise Movement represents student-entrepreneurship in Europe. Recognized as experts, we are actively consulted by governments, the private sector and the civil society.
