The German host for the Enterprise Olympics is the Mainz Network for New Business (MaGNet). MaGNet was created as a EU financed development partnership, backed up by several national governmental departments. The networks main interest is to facilitate and support the establishment of new business enterprises. This also includes projects at local schools in order to increase the entrepreneurial awareness of young people.

Our team will be the first and only team in Germany. It consist of nine students, six girls and three boys, from a local high school, the Gymnasium Nieder-Olm. All team members attend the same social studies class and are in their last but one year before graduation. The nine participants were elected by the whole class, based on their skills and experiences acquired while managing a student-company, founded for a twelve month period during the last school term. Their company successfully created a marketing agency which organised events for young and still not very famous artists to make them more known to a regional level. In addition they sold their works via the Internet.

The event will take place in their school and is supported by the Ministry of economics in Rhineland-Palatinate and the Internationaler Bund, an independent non-profit organisation, engaged in youth and social work, education and training.
