🏆 Spotlight on Luxembourg’s national winners of the Mini-Company & Startup Programme!

These two teams will represent Luxembourg at the Gen-E in Riga, Europe’s largest youth entrepreneurship festival, organised by JA Europe in collaboration with JA Latvia.

Before they take the international stage, here’s a closer look at their projects:

🥇 Upper-secondary Level: SoilStallion
A sustainable organic fertiliser made from pasteurised horse manure at 70°C, designed to improve soil quality and structure in a natural, long-term way.

🥇 University Level: Smart4Leak
A smart system that detects water leaks in real time through vibration analysis of pipelines - no excavation and no service interruption. The team is already developing a pilot project with a local municipality.

Some business assets gain their value precisely because they are not shared.

In this latest post of our intellectual property series with JA Europe and the EUIPO – European Union Intellectual Property Office (), we take a closer look at trade secrets and how they help businesses safeguard confidential information that drives their success.

From proprietary databases and internal processes to strategic know-how, trade secrets can provide a strong competitive advantage when properly protected.

Because in business, what you keep safe can be just as powerful as what you create. 🚀

Would your team patent your idea or keep it secret? Comment 🤐 if your mini-company has a “secret sauce”.

🚀 We’re excited to announce that we’ll be exhibiting at the Nexus Luxembourg 2026!

Come visit us at Booth FS-24 and discover the work we do at JEL, the impact we're creating, and how you can get involved.

We’ll also be part of the 9:10 AM warm-up session, featuring a short on-stage moment and a youth-led showcase where young entrepreneurs will pitch their projects 💡🔥

💡 Did you know your invention could be protected for up to 20 years?

Together with JA Europe and the European Union Intellectual Property Office - EUIPO, we conclude our intellectual property series by exploring how patents help protect technical inventions and support innovation.

From products and devices to innovative processes, patents help innovators safeguard their ideas, unlock their potential, and strengthen their competitive edge.

Because innovation is powerful. Protected innovation is unstoppable. 🚀

Would your idea qualify as an invention? If so, protect it now!
