The first place team will represent Ukraine at the GEN-E European Youth Entrepreneurship Competition in Istanbul.

Today, May 26, the national contest “JA Company of the Year” was held in Lviv Oblast. 40 student companies from 36 specialized colleges and vocational and technical educational institutions of the Lviv and Chernivtsi regions joined the initiative. During the day, they presented the concepts of their own business initiatives related to various areas – ecology, education, engineering, etc.

“The best investment is an investment in the education and improvement of skills of talented and hardworking youth. The “JA Company of the Year” competition brought together a large number of interested people – students, managers, sponsors, who are really ready to develop interesting business ideas and share them with the whole of Ukraine and the world. I believe that our youth should receive not only theoretical, but also practical knowledge. And it is precisely such initiatives that help them realize their practical potential – to create their own company, which in the future can work on a par with other well-known projects. Thank you to each of the participants for their courage and originality, thank you for the fresh ideas,” emphasized Maksym Kozytskyi, head of Lviv OVA.

Among all the applicants, the winning team was chosen, which during the year demonstrated the greatest progress in studying at the entrepreneurship course “Company” from the NGO “Junior Achievement Ukraine”.
