Ready to become entrepreneurial? Want to contribute to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? Students can apply for the SDG Innovation Challenge, held in April by student entrepreneurship association UtrechtInc Students.

During the SDG Innovation Challenge, students work on business cases and come up with an innovative solution for potentially scalable business models. The business cases come from companies like Felyx, Living Lights and Re-Event. The 5-day challenge offers workshops, tools for brainstorming, co-working spaces at Utrecht Science Park, mentorships and meetings with relevant partners and experts. The challenge presents an unique professional development opportunity for students interested in entrepreneurship for societal challenges.

Challenge yourself with an SDG-related business case and exert your mind into creative thinking!

Moreover, there will be networking opportunities and support from experienced experts in the field of startup entrepreneurship, pitching, SDGs and much more.
