A Junior Enterprise (JE) is a non-profit organisation formed and managed exclusively by university students. Junior Enterprises operate at the local level and are associated with a university. Students in JEs provide services for businesses, institutions and individuals. They are knowledge labs within academic institutions where the latest theoretical research is applied in a business context. Junior Enterprises encourage their students to go further with a driven attitude and to think of them as future shapers and active citizens. At the moment, 413 JEs are active in Europe in 16 countries.
