It is our pleasure to present our Committee of Recommendation of the TU/e Contest, which consists of eminent people of the Eindhoven University of Technology, solicitous and concerned companies, and TU/e alumni who support our programme.

By being a member of the Committee they demonstrate their support for our mission to introduce and prosper students’ innovative ideas, prototypes or business plans within our network of experienced and successful business partners. The president of the TU Eindhoven, and at the same time jury chairman of the TU/e Contest, supports this mission in his own words:

“With the TU/e Contest we show our creativity of which we are very proud and thereby 
we stimulate entrepreneurship among our students.”
- Jan Mengelers, President Eindhoven University of Technology

As well as Jan Mengelers, Isabelle Reymen supports our mission by enthusing students in her own way:
“Students get the possibility to become acquainted with entrepreneurship and get easily in touch with the network of partner companies.”
- Isabelle Reymen, University Professor Entrepreneurship and Technology

In association with the Innovation Lab we give students every opportunity to get a taste of entrepreneurship and create the possibility for them to grow in this specific area.
“In my opinion it's never too soon for students to start their entrepreneurial career and contribute to the solution of various social challenges”
- Steef Blok, Director Innovation Lab

Apart from providing students with the opportunity to get acquainted with entrepreneurship, this contest is meant for students who want to learn about pitching, networking, presenting themselves and creating and expanding ideas, with our help. All in all, it’s meant for TU Eindhoven’s ambitious students. 

“The TU/e Contest is what we need: a starting point for students with ambition!”
- Maarten Steinbuch, Professor Control Systems Technology
