Join CINET’s YEP (Young Executive Professional) Exchange Program, a 3 day program in 3 different countries on digitization & new business development. The group of young entrepreneurs (30-40 years) that apply have to choose one of the four new market segments which they would like to develop for their own business. Subsequently a business plan will be developed and pilots will be executed in between meetings.
The Program will focus on all major areas of expertise required for business model and service development. Additionally, there will be interactive meetings dealing with new market areas and services as well as practical assignments to prepare business plans and execute pilots between meetings of the exchange program throughout the year. At the Global Best practices Awards meeting June 20th 2020 at Texcare International in Frankfurt the results will be presented by the participants.
The best business plans and pitch presentations, evaluated by independent international Business Experts will be granted with YEP Awards. In both categories BtoC and BtoB. All participants who deliver a paper meeting the set criteria, will be rewarded by a CINET International Award of Excellence. All rewarded business plans & reports will be brought together in a CINET World of PTC publication, distributed at the GBPAP event.
