Prominent Supporters

• Günther Verheugen
• Vice-President EC in charge of Enterprise and
  Industry

I welcome the important work of JADE
. JADE is part of the true European asset
- a spirit of partnership and cooperation. It
is the spirit of JADE that fuels my conviction
that as long as Europe is closely collaborating
and dynamic, it will be able to achieve even its
most ambitious goals.

Prominent Supporters
José Manuel Barroso President of the European
Commission

tools and bridges between university and the
business world
