Join the challenge now!

The Erasmus University Challenge is back! Do you have an entrepreneurial idea, startup, or just the drive to make impact? This is your chance to join a vibrant community of changemakers, connect with industry partners, and compete for prizes, coaching, and career opportunities.

The Erasmus University Challenge is the university’s first introduction to entrepreneurship, offering a platform for students to explore innovation and business development. This competition is open to all students from all universities - Bachelor, Master, PhD, and PDEng - who are eager to turn their ideas into reality.

As Erasmus University President Annelien Bredenoord said: “The university not only offers added value in education and research but also serves as a hub for entrepreneurship. Ideas and innovations born out of the Erasmus University Challenge create a real, lasting impact on society.”

In 2024 we helped hundreds of students improve their entrepreneurial skills. This year we are looking for the next innovative startup idea. More than just a competition, the Erasmus University Challenge is your platform to grow, pitch your ideas, and make a difference!
