The EDVentures Competition (formerly the Asian Universities Student Entrepreneurship and Ideation Challenge (AUSEIC)) is an inter-disciplinary and inter-institutional innovation and entrepreneurship development competition jointly organized by the Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), Ajman University (AU), Ateneo De Manila University (AdMU), East China Normal University (ECNU), Galgotias University (GU) India, Guangdong University of Technology (GDUT) China, King Saud University (KSU), National Institute of Education - Nanyang Technological University Singapore (NIE-NTU, Singapore), Universitas Indonesia (UI), and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The objectives of EDVentures are to

1. encourage students’ innovation and entrepreneurship to address Asian social and education related issues (in equity, diversity and inclusion);

2. prepare student teams to be future innovators and entrepreneurs with global perspectives; and

3. lay the foundation for an Asia-wide innovation and entrepreneurship scheme for university students.

The EDVentures Competition would like to invite students from EdUHK, AU, AdMU, ECNU, GU, GDUT, KSU, NIE-NTU, UI and UKM with innovative ideas that align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #4. This goal encompasses universal and equal access to quality primary, secondary, technical/vocational and higher education; equity and inclusion; universal youth literacy and global citizenship.
