• JA-YE Europe Core Programme• Programme is an extension of JA Company
Programme• Based on GLOBE it focuses on European joint
venture and trading enterprise • The idea is that a student company in one
European location would partner with a student company in another location by establishing a joint-venture or any other type of relationship:
– a company could ask several others to supply them with products or components of products which would then be packaged and sold;
– or they could provide one-way or two-way services of some kind;
– or they could co-create and co-produce a product and sell it in each others’ markets
– the options are endless …
