The association of “Young Entrepreneurs - Junior Achievement” (YE-JA) is a non governmental organization founded in November 2005 upon the initiative of the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises and comprises 57 members from the Greek business world.

The organisation’s aim is to provide incentives for innovating projects undertaken by young entrepreneurs. Every year, the association organises a school competition for the best business plan of a virtual enterprise.

The winner represents Greece at the European competition, which will be hosted in Italy on July 20. The first Greek prize was awarded to a high-school from the city of Veria for their project “Progsmart,” a service which provides guidance to pupils with learning disabilities.
