Almost 20 years later, we are sharing our achievements and bestpractices and the JADE events are open to external students. Duringthe Spring Meeting 2011, 80 students of HU Brussels will join us forthe workshops, working together on innovative and practicalsolutions. The new perspective outside the Network will have animpact and will merge with the success of over 200 JuniorEntrepreneurs during interactive sessions with Google andAccenture. Moreover, the atmosphere of the European Parliamentand the excitement of the Excellence Awards will remind us onceagain that we are the entrepreneurs of tomorrow and people withenormous impact.After electing the hosting JE for the May Meeting, (from the fiveoutrageous applications), this development will continue andconclude in a joined event: “JADE May Meeting” meets “Junior &Enterprise”.

I AM JADE, what about you?
Sell your JE to your clients as part of JADE
Weak Strong
“Hello. My name is Tzoanna Tsakonaand I am part of a Junior Enterprise. Wedo consulting services.”
Ok that already leads to the question “What the hell is a Junior Enterprise or “so what?”
Hello. My name is Tzoanna Tsakona and Iam running together with other studentsa consulting SME. It’s called JuniorEnterprise and it is strongly linked withour University. We are part of a hugeNetwork of around 280 JuniorEnterprises along Europe, called JADE.JADE Network consists of 20,000 JuniorEntrepreneurs focused on developingtheir entrepreneurial skills. That is whywe exchange best practices, knowledgeand cooperate on international level.
What is the purpose of this example?
Networks exist to support us.If JADE Network didn’t exist we would have to invent one!
Discover and spread JADE Network!
•Use the brand to sell yourself better to partnersand clients! Learn about the successes of other JEsaround the 16 European countries.
•Use JADE knowledge in front of partners andempower more your JEs image.
•Care about the Network by exchanging contacts ofmedia, high institutions, government thatcontribute to JADE’s strategy on going external!

In the beginning, it’s great. Everything is going as planned, things are easy,you get congratulations, people are happy. But come back down to earth!Nothing goes as planned, things are complicated, blames will always fallbefore the congratulations and people are irritated. You have to stirthings up! You make things move and things do not like to be moved.“It worked well before, why would he like to change it?”
Why creating a Junior Enterprise?
To create and to innovate: two conceptsincreasingly popular. Those terms arelarge and imply a series of similar wordslike: dynamism, change, upset,development, improvement …etc. With aconstantly changing world, it’s importantto create and to innovate in the point ofview of the company as well as theindividual. Create and innovate mean“daring for progress”. It involves couragebut it’s necessary for oneself.
Fortunately, we become increasingly awarethat we are not swimming in the Dead Sea,we must make efforts continually to keepafloat. But for most of us those conceptsneed to be imprisoned and have to beunder control before you can enjoy it. Butthis is a mistake! Innovate and create arewild concepts that better opened and letloose. All there power depends on thefreedom they are given. People say onlyfools, also named “entrepreneurs”, knowhow to tame them because they have thatentrepreneurship in them. Wrong again.We all dispose this entrepreneurship.
Invasive or discreet but is in all of us.
It’s important that everybody becomes aware that it’s in us and that it is really useful. It’s a source of energy necessary to tame his capacity to create and to innovate.The madness of an entrepreneur is a simple the result of a hard stimulation of his entrepreneurship.He tamed the capacity to create and to innovate. And we all do, everyday, by trying new methods, suggesting new ideas, taking new responsibilities or involving ourselves.
I see Junior Enterprises as a really nice way tostimulate his entrepreneurship. It’s not only theopportunity to learn practical things about businessthat motives me to enroll in a Junior but also (aboveall) the opportunity for a student to reach suchpossibilities of action, of responsibilities, of creativitythat are excellent ways to stimulate.
I realize how hard it is for a student to find a way tostimulate entrepreneurship. I’m convinced thatfeeding entrepreneurship is extremely importantwhen you are young. I want to help my university tobenefit such tool like a Junior Enterprise for theirstudents. By the way, creating a Junior is withoutdoubt a great stimulation!!
Brieuc de Lovinfosse, Strating JE in Brussels
“It’s not such an easy thing though. And even if some people could think creating a Junior is like undertake in his cradle, it still remains an obstacle
course. “

Let’s Cooperate!The first international cooperation carried out through JE.NET Cooperation
happened in August 2010 between the junior enterprise PS Jr., Brasil Júnior’s JE, andJ.E.To.P, Torino JE, Italy.
JE.NET Cooperation is the first tool of direct communication between Brazilian and Europeannetworks. It is an online platform developed by JADE and Brasil Júnior, aiming to bridge the gapbetween junior enterprises from partner confederations. JE.NET Cooperation promotes theexchange of experiences and practices, facilitates benchmarking and assists in carrying out projectstogether. Check out the interview of the first cooperation:
How the interest in making this international exchange was born?According to Vivian Canary, PS Jr Chairman, the interest came from them. Approximately since
three years PS Jr. has a policy of encouraging JE member exchanges in order to meet differentmethodologies and adapt to the reality of the company. Felipe Camozzato, president of PS Junior at2010.1, suggested the executive board to send a PS Jr. member to JEWC Milano. But there needed tobe another advantages for the JE for those huge costs.
What was the part that JE.NET Cooperation took in this exchange?In order to optimize the JE investment, PS Jr seeked to extend the period during which the
representative of the PS would stay in Europe, so that he could get to know good practices ofEuropean JE’s and acquire another business vision. With that interest in mind, Felipe started seeking aJE interested in receiving a junior entrepreneur through JE.NET Cooperation. And it worked. "The toolwas very useful to find J.E.To.P, and set up all the points of cooperation - Luis Eduardo Obregon wasone week after JEWC Milano already at the Engineering JE in Torino" said Vivian.
On the other hand, J.E.To.P was very happy to know the interest of PS Jr. to cooperate. They quicklyagreed with Camozzato’s invitation and just after JEWC Milano, Luis Eduardo arrived in Torino. Duringseven days that Luis stood there they exchanged many practices and work experiences. "In the end,we were really pleased with the results we achieved. Honestly, we really like this knowledge exchange.And we are grateful for the chance JE.NET Cooperation gave us.“
How do you evaluate the final outcome of the cooperation?Vivian believes that the investment in the exchange process of PS provided a great maturity for the
members of the company, which saw another reality of the Junior Enterprises. Moreover, thisexchange was very important for the visibility of PS Júnior at international level - with results at theBrazilian regional and national congress. Luis Eduardo was also selected to be Brasil Júnior ambassador2011.2, which represents a conquest of his Junior enterprise.

Like all of you, when Hadrien and I were members of our Junior-Enterprise (Centrale Conseil -www.centrale-conseil.fr), we hade to deal with those issues and that is why we launched in June 2009our own startup named SIAJE.SIAJE is an Information System specifically developed for Junior-Enterprises and available as a “SoftwareAs A Service” (SaaS).
At this time we already had developed SIAJE for our own Junior-Enterprise and we noticed that most ofthe Junior-Enterprises around us did not have such a convenient tool (or they were trying, every year,again and again, to develop their own solution). We had the network among the Junior-Entrepreneurs, apotential market of 156 «clients» and a viable business model: SIAJE fees are only a percentage of theJunior-Enterprises’ turnover, this way they can all benefit from it. There was our business opportunity!
Our initial objective was to convince 30 Junior-Enterprises to use our Information System. As of thisweek, nearly 50 of them have already joined us!
Dropping the “Junior”
out of “Junior-Entrepreneur” !
If we had only one advice to give you, it would be: “Just Do It !”. Remember how many things you have learned being a Junior-Entrepreneur. Imagine what you could accomplish (and learn) being an Entrepreneur!
For more information about SIAJE, feel free to contact us ([email protected]) or visit our website (siaje.com - in French only, for the time being) and our Facebook page (facebook.com/SIAJE).
What if you could manage your Junior-Enterprise from your sofa or in the train? We,Junior-Entrepreneurs, love to travel, think fast, be on the move… yet, when it comesto our Junior-Enterprise’s mundane tasks we often struggle with them.What if all the boring and repetitive tasks could be suppressed? What if you couldspend 100% of your time improving your Junior-Enterprise instead of simplyrunning “things “ ?
What helped us improve SIAJE was that we spent (and we still do it) a great partof our time listening to Junior-Entrepreneurs in order to clearly understand theirneeds and provide them with tools to be more effective. The “client-first”strategy always works!
Now that we have graduated we are seriously thinking about expanding to othercountries. Stay tuned for more info about that!

TOGETHER WE GROW
What does ENLARGEMENT mean for JADE?
Having a stronger and bigger network is very important and beneficial for us!
We become more diverse, open up new opportunities of partnerships and
knowledge partnerships, add new ideas to our network and of course gain
access to new countries and markets opportunities.
Not to mention that having a bigger group of young entrepreneurs from many
different countries increases a lot our bargaining power every time we talk to
a partner, public or civil institution. So JADE motto is not only motivational,
this is really something that we do to strengthen our network!
Contact the JADE Enlargement team [email protected] !!!
Lately the enlargement team has been busy working and
following up with new initiatives contacts! These range from
Slovenia, Russia, Ukraine, Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina and
Norway all the way to Togo, Tunisia and Morocco in Africa and
India.
