An entrepreneurial journey

The TU/e Contest consists of several milestones between Tuesday 20 February and Thursday 20 June. Below you can find more information about the upcoming events. All participants need to attend these events to gain access to the Student Innovation Summit.

It is no longer possible to register for the TU/e Contest 2024. In case you were not able to join, we warmly invite you to join the Student Innovation Summit on Thursday 20 June 2024. On this day, you can support this year's participants while they pitch their concepts during the finals. There will also be workshops for all TU/e students, and you get the chance to network.
