This competition has longstanding roots in a collaboration between Ohio University and the University of Pécs.  The partnership began in 1989 as a way to facilitate a student and faculty exchange that would pair entrepreneurial education with global vision.

We intend to expand the competition and offer the opportunity for other Universities to be part of the network of international HEIs to allow our students to receive international exposure in an early stage of their entrepreneurial evolution and to strengthen the regional innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
