Participants can bring their innovations to life through collaboration with experts from academia and industry, gaining exposure to different companies and organisations for future career- or project development opportunities.

It is an inspiring opportunity for all students in Limburg enrolled in a University of Applied Sciences or higher. This format promotes interdisciplinary and interfaculty collaboration, leading to impressive solutions for current social challenges.

"The Brightlands Startup Challenge programme is a great opportunity to broaden and test your entrepreneurial skills and competencies in close cooperation with other students and a network of industry partners.

You will be given ample chances to meet and work with different companies and businesses in interdisciplinary teams, in line with the actual development stage of your projects, whether it is ideation, prototyping or start-up."
