The most recognizable organization, whose members are like family to each other.
The Students’ Business Club from the Warsaw School of Economics is an organization that brings together ambitious students from economic universities in Poland. Members of SKN Biznesu organize projects addressed to young people from both Poland and Europe.
The incredible engagement and above-average creativity allowed to create projects presenting the start-up environment, the banking sector, the world of investments or modern healthcare industries. One of the projects is a European case study competition, which encourages high school students to become interested in business. Work on the projects is combined with many workshops and opportunities to build relationships between the Club members. The above things make SKN Biznesu one of the most recognizable organizations, whose members are like family.

The Student Club of Commerce and Competitiveness (SKOK) was founded in 2014 at the Faculty of International Relations of the Prague University of Economics and Business. Its name says it all: “skok” means “leap” in Czech, and the club aims to keep its members one leap ahead. Today it is the largest business-focused club at the faculty and a bridge between students and the business world.
SKOK organizes networking evenings where students meet professionals from leading companies, along with lectures, workshops and discussions with industry experts. It also runs study trips to international institutions such as the WTO, the UN and the OECD.
