A Danube Cup pitch versenyt a BME és a BCE hallgatói számára hoztuk létre 2016-ban. Aztóta nemzetközi versennyé nőttük ki magunkat több fordulóval.
A Danube Cup validált ötletek versenye, tehát nem elég, hogy van egy ötleted. Végezz piackutatást, hogy meggyőződhess az ötleted piaci potenciáljától.
Az idei nemzetközi versenyre is lehet jelentkezni, a startup csapatokban legalább egy hallgatónak kell rendelkeznie aktív BME-s vagy BCE-s hallgatói státusszal.

We invite all Corvinus University of Budapest and Budapest University of Technology and Economics undergraduate, graduate and PhD students to participate in the Danube Cup 2023 Hungarian Finals!
Main prize: The winners will be nominated as Hungarian participants of the Danube Cup 2023 International Entrepreneurial Pitch Competition.

To be eligible, teams must meet the following requirements:
Validation: We are looking for teams that have already performed validation research for their ideas, at least locally. This event is not an idea competition. The applicants must have started validating the business idea among potential customers, the product must be innovative and enjoy a growth potential independently of local market trends as far as possible.
Team size: Teams must have at least three maximum five total members. Participants can only be a member of one team.
Student teams: Teams may contain non-university member participants. However, the majority of the team members should be registered Corvinus or BME students. A “registered student” is a student who has been accepted into a degree program at Corvinus or BME and is working toward the completion of that degree by taking at least one course in the 2022/23 academic year.
Fresh project: Teams must present an original idea for an enterprise that has not existed before 2022. Teams must be in a “pre-incubator” form and must not have received financial backing by professional third-party business angels or venture capitalists.
Interested? We’d love to see you pitch! We request all applicants to submit a short video via our website in English that gives us a sense of who you are and how your solution would be propelling the future of the world. Video submissions should cover the following points in max. 3 minutes:
Questions may also be sent to: krisztian.pota@uni-corvinus.hu or info@danubecup.eu
