MEET THE NEXT GENERATION OF TECH STUDENT INNOVATORS AIMING TO SHAKE THINGS UP.
Red Bull Basement is a global call to action, empowering students to develop bold new ideas and implement tech solutions that will make a meaningful impact on their campus and the world. It’s a platform of the company which is focused on finding innovative ideas from people at tertiary institutions across the globe.
Red Bull Basement University encourages creative students in any course to apply, including makers, hackers, coders, developers, designers and engineers. Teams apply by making a one-minute video explaining their idea. After social voting, a local and global jury selects 1 national finalist per country.
These finalists enter a six-week development phase to further evolve their project. During this phase, Red Bull Basement University provides country winners with funding, international mentorship, networking opportunities and workspaces.
Finalists are eventually invited to the Red Bull Basement University Global Workshop, a four-day event, that ends with the selection of a global winner.

Red Bull Basement University launched its inaugural program in 2018 with more than 300 universities and 16 countries participating. The participating students came up with innovative ideas, such as giving students greater access to voting in campus elections and improving metal recycling and waste collection. The global winning idea in 2018 was awarded to Team Vacant in Toronto, which designed a prototype that enables students to get real-time information on study space availability across different buildings on campus. See below the impressions of 2018's event.
