About the Dutch University Challenge
The Dutch University Challenge (DUC) is the largest innovation competition in the Netherlands connecting all regions of the country in one nationwide platform for young entrepreneurs.
Students and recent graduates can sign up through their own regional challenge, where they’ll receive expert guidance, mentorship, and resources to develop their ideas into real business solutions.
The most promising teams from each region earn a spot in the annual national final, where they present their innovations to top investors, industry leaders, and potential partners. Winners receive cash prizes and valuable opportunities to grow their startups.
