A unique competition that challenges students to design, build and drive the most energy-efficient vehicle.

More than 3,000 students will compete in making their own vehicles travel the furthest on the least amount of fuel.

Prior to the competition, the City of Rotterdam and Shell will co-host the Powering Progress Together conference, which will bring together leaders from business, government, NGOs, academia and young talent to discuss the Energy-Water-Food challenge and what they can do to survive, adapt, and grow in this volatile world.

You now have the chance to join us from May 14 to May 16, and attend these amazing events as our special VIP guest.
