New generation of Young Entrepreneur ventures are on the roll


Julja NY, one of the six YE ventures which have been in the middle of their start-up process since last September, was awared for the national Best Web Presence title among University-level new ventures.

According to Young Entrepreneur website the judges appreciated the stunning visual identity of the company and also the great use of different social media sites to attract attention to the company and to their new brand. Updating activity and likes in Facebook are telling the story of a well planned web branding and commitment to the JA Company’s future as a real enterprise.

Together with the University of Applied Sciences and University of Applied Human Science TSE Entre is involved in running the YE course. The course comprises an unexptional close hands-on approach on entrepreneurship. In September a number of students with different backgrounds team up, generate business idea and execute. Simple as that. The entire course lasts until the mid-May after which some of them register their business while the others root for their unique experiences in entrepreneurship.
