Last week the partnership between UBS and University of Zurich caused a stir. Little attention was given to the fact that UBS started a comprehensive programme and will also support Genilem and the Young Enterprise Switzerland (YES) organisation.

UBS is marking its 150th anniversary with the launch of a broad-based international education initiative. In addition to the partnership with the University of Zurich, the education initiative includes projects that are supporting entrepreneurship:  

UBS will support Genilem, an independent association that supports innovative businesses during their start-up phase. Genilem analyzes the business plans of start-up companies and also provides a network of mentors and partners, specialized training for budding entrepreneurs and professional long-term coaching which will last for a three-year period. UBS will also provide its own expert mentors and coaches for this initiative.

The company will also extend the current partnership with the Young Enterprise Switzerland (YES) organization, which organizes educational projects for young people jointly with businesses, schools and the government. This initiative is designed to teach young people to apply collaborative thinking, demonstrate entrepreneurialism and present themselves as confident and persuasive. With this extended commitment under the education initiative, UBS will become the new main sponsor of YES.
