Citizen Entrepreneurship Competition

The Citizen Entrepreneurship Competition (CEC) is aimed especially at young entrepreneurs and empowers them to develop ideas for a more peaceful and sustainable world. Participants are encouraged to create ideas with social impact and to actively contribute to one or more of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which address the key social, economic, environmental, and health challenges of our time. Entrepreneurs from age 13 and up are invited to submit their ideas and become part of an international community.

The competition runs in three phases:

Idea Submission & Entrepreneurial Design: Submit a short pitch, have it reviewed against the competition criteria, complete the courses, and fill out the Entrepreneurial Design Canvas (EDC).
Voting: All ideas are published, and participants can gather votes while supporting each other.
Jury Decision: The ten submissions with the most votes are evaluated by an expert jury and the winners are selected.
