History
JECoMM, Junior Enterprise Communication & Marketing Milano, is a non-profit association created in 2006 by a group of students of the Faculty of Political Sciences of the Università degli Studi di Milano.
JECoMM has been part of the JADE Italia network since 5th May 2007, when it became the twelfth Italian Junior Enterprise. Amongst the several Italian and foreign Junior Enterprises mostly set up in economics and engineering faculties, JECoMM seems to be the exception that proves the rule: entrepreneurial spirit can spread everywhere!
Our members, chosen for their entrepreneurial spirit and their motivational profile, proved themselves to be willing to apply to concrete cases the knowledge and the skills acquired during their studies.
The concept is easy but effective: JECoMM is about students running a non-profit association just like a real consulting society, by developing projects for SMEs, big companies and local agencies.
Mission and shared values
Our mission is to bridge the gap between university and the work experience through the professional education of our members, which are all students of the Università degli Studi di Milano, and by providing to our clients consulting services precisely aimed at them.
JJECoMM has strong foundations, consisting in the following values:
- entrepreneurial spirit and team working
- commitment, professionalism and constancy in executing projects
- versatile and multidisciplinary knowledge
- knowledge sharing, constantly supported by the use of new technologies
- cooperation with other JE's in the Italian and European Jade framework
Team
JECoMM is exclusively composed by university students. Their economic, language and cultural education and skills allow them to carry out managerial and organizational tasks in several fields of communication; besides this, members are required to be able to turn their knowledge into practical abilities such as editorial assignments, opinion polls analysis, planning and development of communication campaigns and so on.

Network: JADE and JADE Italy
On the 5th May 2007 JECoMM became the twelfth Italian Junior Enterprise in the framework of Jade Italia, the network gathering all Italian JE's.
JADE Italia was created in 1992 to coordinate the movement of Italian JE's; its Executive Board is formed by members elected by the assembly of Junior Enterprises. All JE's members can candidate for the Board and take part to the development of the Jade network.
JADE Italia organizes several meetings throughout the year in order to make the members of JE's stay in touch, discuss, debate and share knowledge and experiences, and last but not least to strengthen the spirit of Jade network and its founding values.
Junior enterprises, forty years after their birth in France, have gradually established in a considerable number of universities all around the world.
As to Europe, there are approximately 240 JE's coming from 14 different European countries amongst which France, Spain, Germany, Italy and Switzerland; besides these many (nearly 600) have established in south America, mainly in Brazil. In the latest times the movement is growing up in Asia as well.
All the European national confederations, just like Jade Italia, are gathered in the framework of Jade Europe, of which headquarters are in Brussels. JADE Europe promotes the concept of JE's to public and private international or national organizations, spreading the values of Junior entrepreneurs wherever it is possible. Any member can carry out its own projects in the European headquarters and live in the Jade House with other Junior entrepreneurs. In this way the network encourages its members to stay in touch, as these inter-personal contacts are believed to be very helpful for students' careers.
Moreover, Jade Europe sets up meetings and conferences involving all affiliate JE's , in order to let the students get to know the network and get in touch with other Junior entrepreneurs.
