The Youth Entrepreneurship Club (YEC) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 2015 by a group of young people who love entrepreneurship and technology. We encourage, support, unite and connect entrepreneurs, scientists, students, the unemployed and social ventures. We provide tools they need to create innovative projects, i.e. sharing local economies, we encourage them to stay in the country and picture the future with optimism.

YEC creates a communication channel between academic institutions, the actual market, and the society. In this way, we contribute to forming a dialogue between science and everyday life, foreseeing the entrepreneurial potential of the produced knowledge. We manage national and European wide conferences, seminars, webinars, speeches, open coffee events and counting more in future.

YEC provides information on exchange programs, funding, and counseling for the benefit of those who are engaged or wish to engage in our organization. YEC group seeks to expand to as many local communities as possible using multiple activities which aim to transfer knowledge, opportunities, and experiences such as competitions, educational trips, thematic workshops, educational games, lectures of scientific and business training.

YEC enables young interns coming from abroad to share their experience, enhancing cross-border networking and cooperation.
