About the UvA Impact Challenge

The UvA Impact Challenge provides a platform for students to showcase and develop their innovative ideas, related to societal and entrepreneurial issues. As participant you will be supported by coaches from the industry in making real progress in realizing a viable business plan. It is the perfect opportunity to connect with partners and broaden your network for the future!

The contest is an entrepreneurial and innovation competition for all students at the University of Amsterdam. The University of Amsterdam initiated the contest to bring the academic institution, students, government institutions, companies and organisations together in a community where innovation, entrepreneurship and co-creation are key.

Students are encouraged to pitch their creative ideas and projects and further develop them into a feasible concept. Community building and co-creation with the business community is essential for this and of great added value for students at the University of Amsterdam as for companies and organisations belonging to the partner network.
