Francophone University Agency in Central and Eastern Europe (AUF) and the POLITEHNICA University of Bucharest are launching a regional competition for Francophone Undergraduate and Graduate students to encourage them to generate their ideas for tech start-ups.

The regional call for applications is aimed at enabling young Francophone students to explore the entrepreneurial environment, encouraging innovative, creative and bold projects of young Francophones, supporting implementation of innovative pre-incubation and acceleration experiments in Central and Eastern Europe, and promoting national and regional cooperation between universities and socio-economic circles.

But above all, this competition provides a unique opportunity of finding a way to turn an idea into reality, to carry out an innovative project or turn a hobby into a business, to receive an external view of a new project and get support from professionals of the field in implementing the new idea.

The candidates should:

● Form / present a team of 5 Francophone students at most;

● Each team member must be a student at the Francophone University Agency in Central and Eastern Europe (AUF) (auf.org/les_membres/nos-membres/) throughout the competition (December 2021 – July 2022, 2021 – 2022 academic year);

● Be Francophone (level B1 or higher), fill out the competition form (one form per each team) on auf.org platform (Regional Competition “Turning Good Ideas into Start-Ups” 2022, AUF Central and Eastern Europe).
