What is a Junior Initiative (JI) ?
The JI-stadium of an organisation is the gateway to becoming a Junior Enterprise (JE). In the period in which an organisation has the status of Junior Initiative, it has to demonstrate to be able to fulfil all criteria which are set for the Junior Enterprise status. In general, a JI functions just like a JE, without calling itself a Junior Enterprise. In practice, this means that a JI uses the JE concept. In this way, the European network can recognise an organisation as residing in the start-up phase.
