Danube Cup 2021 is expected to enhance international cooperation in business development between participating institutions.

Over the past decade, several Hungarian university projects have grown into renowned companies – examples include Supercharge, Neticle, Tresorit, BookrKids, Publishdrive, Soupy and Zyntern. The winner of Danube Cup’s national predecessor competition ‘Duna Kupa’, Roksh, now provides an online shopping platform to supermarket chains such as Aldi. Danube Cup 2021 offers the environment and motivation for future innovative enterprises to be developed by students to turn their business ideas into reality. Competing teams will gain professional experience, invaluable business networking opportunities, and will be enriched by inspiration and mentoring provided by renowned entrepreneurs, investors, and incubation and accelerator programme leaders. All this will take place in the framework of an international competition in which they will have the chance to measure themselves against student teams of similar motivation.
