The activities therefore expanded by over 20 per cent compared to the past school year 2009/2010. Going Public: Young Entrepreneurs E in the Station 2011 For the last two years, the organization Young Enterprise Switzerland (YES) grew substantially. Therefore, in 2011 the time was right to gain public awareness. YES decided to launch a new event called Young Entrepreneurs in the Station. This platform was ideal to inform a broad public and the stakeholders of YES about business and entrepreneurial education. Additionally, this event was a unique opportunity for mini-companies to present their business ideas and to sell numerous products. The main station in Zurich, where hundreds of thousands of people, consisting of businessmen, politicians as well as tourists pass by each day, was the perfect location. The generous support of UBS, KPMG and SBB RailCity Zurich enabled YES to realize this event. Young Entrepreneurs in the Station contained the following activities: - Trade fair: 50 mini-companies from all over Switzerland presented their student company and profited from the unique selling opportunity. - Panel discussion: YES organized a round table, where representatives of the business, educational and political sector discussed the chances and risks of corporate volunteering in education. - Evening event: During Young Entrepreneurs on Stage YES had the opportunity to present the organization to invited guests. Highlight: JA-YE Europe Trade Fair March 28-30, 2012 Young Entrepreneurs in the Station was the rehearsal for another upcoming event. YES is very proud to host the official JA-YE Europe Trade Fair in March The Europe Trade Fair has a long tradition of bringing together minicompanies from all over Europe. It is a unique selling opportunity for the students as well as platform to meet peers who share similar interests and goals. YES is looking forward to an unforgettable event and inspiring moments with young talents and representatives of business, education and politics!

3 P a g e 3 Company Programme Over 100 minicompanies Interaction with peers 5 new schools Suisse Romande Rollout-strategy Infoclick.ch HEG-FR Local offices: Fribourg and St Gallen Pure men team Most Innovative Product Award Fedex Global Access Award More Students and New Schools For the first time in the history of Young Enterprise Switzerland over 100 minicompanies participated in the Company and Business Programme. A development that indicates the increasing popularity and importance of entrepreneurial education. The students and teachers especially value the possibility of interacting with their peers from other schools and regions of Switzerland. Another meaningful and important signal is the number of participating schools. Five new schools initiated the Company Programme at their school in the school year 2010/2011. The activities of schools is particularly essential in regions where YES is not yet well-known and established. New schools motivate YES to keep expanding its programmes also in uncovered regions such as the Suisse Romande. With both Fribourg and Biel already being active bilingually, feedback helps to adapt the programme material to the regional needs. Regional Offices O in Fribourg F and St Gallen In 2010/2011 further steps of the rollout-strategy were implemented. Thanks to our partnerships with infoclick.ch and the School of Business Administration of Fribourg, YES was able to pilot two regional offices in St Gallen and Fribourg. The main advantage of the local offices is the decreasing distance between the YES Programme Manager and the teachers and students. Therefore the support is more intense and more personal. This was very much appreciated by the students and teachers. National Company of the Year 2011: backbord backbord was the first pure men team to win the National Competition. The eight talented young business men also convinced the European jury and won the Most Innovative Product Award at the JA-YE European Trade Fair in Bratislava. The team was rewarded for their excellent business idea. backbord produces bags and pencil cases made out of used sailing material. At the JA- YE European Competition backbord finally was also able to win the Fedex Global Access Award for the global potential of their business. The success of backbord once again shows the high quality of the Swiss mini-entrepreneurs. The YES team is already looking forward to welcome the new entrepreneurs.
