DUC Program

The Dutch University Challenge (DUC) gives selected teams the opportunity to bring their (upcoming) startups to the spotlight and truly make a splash. The talented students will get the chance to earn the prestigious title of DUC Winner 2025 with amazing cash prizes! But that’s not all—as part of the challenge, each team will have their own booth at the FutureXPO, offering valuable exposure to more than 4,000 industry leaders, potential investors, and fellow entrepreneurs. This provides an excellent opportunity to build connections and take meaningful steps toward growing their start-up.
