Showcasing newcomers and aspiring entrepreneurs matters. That’s why the Junior Chamber International (JCI) has selected the 10 most promising young entrepreneurs of Luxembourg to compete in its 15th Creative Young Entrepreneur Luxembourg (CYEL) competition. The award ceremony and Gala will be held on 1 December 2021.

Having a good idea is easy, executing it well is hard. It takes dedication, great skill and good leadership. And even that is not always enough. Indeed, many great start-ups lack the right exposure to take their business to the next level.
The CYEL competition wants to help young entrepreneurs aged 18-40 by giving their startups the exposure they deserve. Giving visibility to exciting projects and innovative new ideas is paramount to nurturing a thriving ecosystem.
Having to select for 30 applicants across all sectors – hamburgers, cloud-based solutions, web platforms, shoes, and many other – was a difficult task. But with the help of a University of Luxembourg partnership and a great panel, the JCI has managed to get the list down to ten.
On the 12 November, the selected entrepreneurs will pitch before a jury of 10 professionals. The three selected finalists will be awarded at a ceremony at the Chamber of Commerce on December 1srt 2021.
