Tilburg University Challenge

The Tilburg University Challenge supports students to come up with innovative ideas, related to social and entrepreneurial issues, and make actual progress in realizing a viable business plan. During the competition, students can develop their entrepreneurial skills and co-create their innovations with experts from both education and business. In the process, students will have the opportunity to introduce themselves as future employees to the various companies participating in the challenge. To successfully engage in these job opportunities, students acquire useful core competencies during the Tilburg University Challenge, such as working in interdisciplinary teams.
