Young entrepreneurs take off on television

Swiss television channel SF is planning a documentary series about young entrepreneurs. The eleven-part series called "Start up - Der Weg zur eigenen Firma" is due to start next April. The camera will follow young entrepreneurs on their path to self-employment. The aim is to show initiative people how they can turn their business idea into a business and what opportunities are open to them - it is about real opportunities and real risks. It is an opportunity for viewers to be "up close and personal", writes SF in a press release. And describes the program as "television about the future generation of doers and opinion leaders". The pre-selection of those portrayed will be carried out by the Institute for Young Enterprises, while the Federal Innovation Promotion Agency will provide the coaches. The registration deadline for interested parties is December 11, 2006.
