The European BioTechnology Design Competition (EBTDC)

The European BioTechnology Design Competition (EBTDC) is an international platform established in 2020 that empowers high school and university students to showcase their innovative biotechnological designs. Our mission is to inspire the next generation of scientists and innovators by providing them with opportunities to compete, collaborate, and connect with like-minded peers from around the globe.

Each year, teams from diverse backgrounds come together to present their unique ideas through a structured competition that unfolds in three distinct stages. From the initial submission of design concepts to the final face-to-face showdown, participants gain invaluable experience in research, teamwork, and presentation skills. The highlight of our competition is the trip to Silicon Valley awarded to the first-place team, where students have the chance to tour iconic tech companies, fostering their aspirations and broadening their horizons.

At EBTDC, we believe in the power of biotechnology to address pressing global challenges. Our competition not only promotes creativity and technical skills but also encourages participants to think critically about the impact of their innovations. With a supportive network of mentors and sponsors, we aim to create a vibrant community that nurtures talent and fosters collaboration across borders.

Join us in celebrating the spirit of innovation and competition as we continue to inspire young minds to make a difference in the world through biotechnology. Whether you are a participant, mentor, or sponsor, we invite you to be part of our journey toward a sustainable and innovative future.
