A World of Impact

Achieving an economy’s entrepreneurial potential requires every part of society to be mobilized.

•  Entrepreneurs must act as role models for young people by sharing their stories, mentoring and encouraging the next generation of entrepreneurs.

•  Governments must support the promotion of entrepreneurship amongst young people.

•  Education systems must equip young people with an enterprising spirit and global

mindset—from an early age.

•  Businesses must offer opportunities for their employees to develop entrepreneurial abilities and work with educators to bring enterprise to life.

•  The media must be inspired and encouraged to celebrate entrepreneurship, and inform the public about the economic and social contribution of entrepreneurs.

•  Social media must provide platforms that break down barriers, such as language, and enable connections around the world.

Why organize a Global Entrepreneurship Week activity?

•  We need people and organizations to help create an environment that allows entrepreneurial behavior to flourish. It is important that young people believe in themselves and strive to make their ideas happen, and they deserve encouragement and support. The drive to nurture enterprising behavior needs business, education, government, voluntary organizations and the media to work together — no single sector or organization working in isolation can create opportunities on this ambitious scale.

•  Global Entrepreneurship Week is a great opportunity to showcase what thousands of organizations already do to help foster a culture that embraces innovation, imagination and creativity.

•  TiE Brussels is coordinating the GEW initiative in Belgium as the Lead Host in cooperation with the Belgian Federation of Junior Enterprises.

  Today, Junior Enterprises are considered as the most entrepreneurial youth structure. They stimulate and support the entrepreneurship spirit of the students, and are really focused on business.

  A research (made at the European Level) shows that more than 20% of former Junior-Entrepreneurs are creating their own company within the two years after they have been graduated from their schools. While 7% is the average number for non Junior Entrepreneur in Europe.

  Junior Enterprise students are committed and motivated : junior entrepreneurs are always seeking for practice, trainings and networking.

  The Junior Enterprises network is searching for visibility among the entrepreneurship world in Belgium.

For GEW 2012, TiE Brussels is partnering with the Belgian Federation of Junior Enterprises

  Definition : A Junior Enterprise is a local non profit organization entirely managed by students. Related to their field of studies the students offer consulting services to the market; experiencing unique learning opportunities by doing professional project work on the one side and managing small- to medium sized enterprises on the other, by doing this the students add practical experience to their theoretical skills. Most Junior Enterprises are linked to universities or schools.

  Goals: promote the professionals skills and develop entrepreneurial skills directly by proposing business project related to real and effective companies.

  A growing network : today we are covering more than 4 universities in Belgium (Leuven, Louvain la Neuve, Liège, Mons) but our network is growing with new universities (Solvay, Ichec, HUB, …) and our aim is to cover all the biggest schools and universities in Belgium.

  An international organization: the Belgian Federation is part of the JADE network, an European wide umbrella organization covering more than 20.000 students in Europe.

-  In order to show our commitment to the entrepreneurship spirit in Belgium, the Belgian Federation of Junior Enterprises decided with TiE Brussels to organize their own event for GEW 2012. This event is based on a business game principle : we will allow students among all the Belgian universities to challenge themselves in various entrepreneurial skills.

-  The game will be hold through internet during five days, working on different topics related to entrepreneurship. Each day students will have to manage new challenges : how to manage your prospection, how to run a business project, how to recruit, … All theses challenge are directly related to the main aspects of a Junior Enterprise, but also to those of real companies.

-  By the end of these five days, all the participants will be invited to present their result to a special event in Louvain la Neuve. This event will gather all the existing network (more than 200 people from Junior Enterprises, public sector and private companies) but also all the people interested in youth entrepreneurship. Our aim is to make a public presentation of the results in order to select the best project and to launch a new Junior-Enterprise.

-  The Junior Enterprise Challenge project is thus really focused on entrepreneurship, it will not just support the entrepreneurship spirit, it will also and above all focus on results and create new Junior Enterprises in Belgium.
