Impulses and initiative
At EuroSkills 2021, the Entrepreneurship/Business Development championships were held as a competition for the fifth time. For this reason, in cooperation with and at the request of SwissSkills, we have decided to launch the Entrepreneurship category at the Swiss Skills Championships 2022 (SwissSkills 2022) and thus give young professionals the chance to also compete internationally.
Organiser and organisation
IG EntrepreneurSkills has overall responsibility for the organisation of the Professional Championship in Entrepreneurship. IG EntrepreneurSkills is an initiative of the Vocational Training Centre Olten (BBZ), the Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH), FH SCHWEIZ and the Solothurn Chamber of Commerce. SERI and SwissSkills support and promote its implementation.
The funding of the project is designed as a non-profit project and is supported by renowned partners, organisations and foundations.
