Champion of Champions Competition

Each autumn, the Champion of Champions competition brings together top students from EIBF-funded university enterprise contests, giving them a chance to showcase their innovations on a national stage – and win even bigger prizes. 

Entrants are invited to present an innovative idea that solves a problem in society. This can be the same idea entered into the university competition, or a brand-new idea. 

As with the university level competitions, entrants must be engineers, computer science or biomedical students or be multi-disciplinary teams that include at least one of those eligible participants.
