Business Academy Aarhus among Europe's best in entrepreneurship
The accolade comes after several years of strategic work to integrate innovation and entrepreneurship into our teaching
The Academy has been awarded the TES Award 2025, presented by Junior Achievement Europe to educational institutions that make an extraordinary effort to promote entrepreneurship among young people.
Ten institutions nominated
This year, the competition was significantly intensified. Last year, 32 were honoured, but this year only ten European educational institutions made it through the eye of the needle.
‘It is a great recognition of our skilled employees and students. Their persistent work and commitment to entrepreneurship is now being rewarded internationally, and we are incredibly pleased about it’ says Rector Anne Storm Rasmussen from Business Academy Aarhus.
The result of a targeted effort
The award is the result of several years of strategic focus on integrating innovation and entrepreneurship into our teaching. The Foundation for Entrepreneurship nominated the Academy for the award based on its extensive work and the students' excellent results. Students from the Academy have won several Danish and European championships in entrepreneurship, most recently the title of Entrepreneurial Educational Institution of the Year at the Danish Championships in 2024.
This prize was awarded at the beginning of July at the European Championships in Entrepreneurship in Athens, where Denmark was represented by two teams, one from the high school sector and Business Academy Aarhus from the higher education institutional sector.
Business Academy Aarhus competed against nine other HEIs from countries such as Austria, Finland, Cyprus, Luxembourg, and Sweden.
Several awards
Business Academy Aarhus has been among the most successful Danish educational institutions in entrepreneurship, both nationally and internationally – for the past five years. With several Danish Championship victories, European Championship medals, and institutional honours, the Academy has made its mark on the national and European map.
