How the competition is organised
The competition will be organized as a two-day event with the participation of students and teachers from the partner institutions, representatives of associated project partners, and entrepreneurship experts.
The event will take place outside the premises of the partner institutions, but within the cross-border region. Transportation, accommodation, and meals will be provided free of charge to participants.
Students will present their business plans and respond to questions from the evaluation committee. While there can be only one winner, all participants will gain valuable experience by presenting their ideas in a simulated environment and persuading potential investors or clients that their product or service offers the best solution in the context of the cross-border region.
In addition to the competition itself, participants will have opportunities for informal discussions, experience sharing, networking, and building new professional and personal connections.
The working language of the competition is English. However, participants who are proficient in the language of the neighbouring country may also present in German or Czech.
First edition of the STENT-In competition
The first edition of the competition will take place in spring 2026. We will provide timely information about the exact date and programme.
