José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission
“JADE - the European Confederation of Junior Enterprises
is a prime example when it comes to "learning by
doing". By fostering the entrepreneurial mindsets
among students, Junior Enterprises help to provide a
conducive and competitive learning environment,
creating leaders for the future of Europe."
Philippe de Buck, Secretary General of BUSINESSEUROPE
“JADE has clearly recognized the important
connection between education and business which I fully
support. The initiative created by JADE can only help students
to learn entrepreneurial skills and help prepare those
who will eventually choose a career in business. I applaud the
efforts of JADE!”
Stelios Haji-Ioannou, Founder of EasyGroup
