YET

What YET does

YET – Youth Entrepreneurship Education Technology is a non-governmental organization headquartered in Thessaloniki, Greece. Founded in 2008 as an unofficial group called Young Entrepreneurs of Thessaloniki and registered as an NGO in 2014, it now operates under the expanded name Youth | Entrepreneurship | Education | Technology. The organization delivers vocational training, entrepreneurship education, and digital-skills programs to college students, young professionals, SMEs, startups, and experienced entrepreneurs, with particular focus on inclusivity for people with disabilities and underrepresented groups.

The organization's core technical offering is the YET Network platform, a crowdsourcing ecosystem providing Digital Transformation as a Service (TaaS) to NGOs and corporations, encompassing digital citizen engagement and NGO transformation tooling. YET also delivers project-specific training platforms and toolkits including AI4AGRI (AI in agriculture), DEEPWELD (deep-tech welding with AI-powered quality assurance), WELDIFY and WELDNET (inclusive vocational welding ecosystems), SFEntre (slow-food culinary entrepreneurship), ENABLE Certification Centre (disability inclusion in manufacturing), PreMETS (predictive maintenance), TEXSTYLE (circular textile), and ReelTalent (film industry networking). The core AI and deep-tech technical competencies are largely housed at consortium partners such as CERTH, TUM International, and university partners; YET's role is primarily program management, training delivery, dissemination, and consortium coordination across 20+ EU-funded projects.

YET operates a non-profit, grant-funded business model. The sole disclosed revenue stream is EU project funding (Erasmus+, EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative, and other EU programs), with no commercial pricing, no app, no API, and no published revenue figures. GTM is community-led and event-driven: networking events, training seminars, workshops, hackathons, and consortium-led dissemination across European markets, supported by social media (Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn), a multilingual website, and newsletter distribution. The organization is a member of the EU Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition, EIT Deep Tech Talent, and Diversity Charter Greece, and maintains partnerships with Google Developers, Udacity, Startup Europe Week, Global Entrepreneurship Week, and the US Embassy Athens.
