Hey! THIS IS YOUR SHOT TO SHINE
#TogetherWeGrow
Why do we promote the Excellence Awards? The JADE Excellence Awards are the most important recognition given every year to the European Junior Enterprises that performed extraordinarily in specific domains. Junior Enterprises from all around the continent compete to showcase their excellence and the results achieved in the past year to get visibility at European level, in front of fellow Junior Entrepreneurs, Corporate partners and institutions. The finalists of each category will have the chance to present their application during the opening ceremony in front of all the participants and high level members of the jury from the corporate and institutional field.
In the end of the day, it is about inspire other by extraordinary examples; encouraging the merit and the best practices within our network. ŠJADE – European Confederation of Junior Enterprises \ jadenet.org
