2024 Ulysses Digital Student Competition on Family Business

Previously founded as an ERASMUS+ programma (2021-2023), the Ulysses Contest is aimed to organize every year a digital case study competition based on cases from family firms in Austria, Italy and Hungary. The competition gives students the opportunity to transfer theoretical knowledge into practice and to work in a team to create a solution proposal for a current problem in a family business.
The project is developed by the Centre for Family Business Management in collaboration with University of Szeged, Management Center Innsbruck, University of Vienna, Univations Gmbh and Agentur fundus.

“Ulysses Digital Student Competition on Family Business” (ULYSSES) focuses on providing a first-hand insight into family firms, gathering real-life case studies from these firms so that university students would be able to gain practical entrepreneurial learning experiences and to enhance their digital skills. ULYSSES will provide this combined chance by setting up the 1st digital European student competition that focuses explicitly on family businesses. In this competition, students work in groups of 4-5 members to solve real-life case studies provided by family firms.
