The stock market simulation game for students!
On October 5, 2016, the stock market simulation game started again, Europe's largest stock market simulation game. Students who trade stocks and funds skillfully can win attractive cash prizes.
What is the stock market simulation game?
Learning by doing: The stock market simulation game is an exciting online competition in which students experience and learn to understand the world of business and the stock market live. For ten weeks, the participants work - alone or in a team - with 100,000 euros of virtual starting capital, use it to trade on the stock market and test various investment strategies. It is important to delve into stock prices, follow company reports and regularly study the business section of the newspapers.
Who can participate?
Students from all disciplines are eligible to participate. The only requirement is a participating savings bank that takes over the support and supports it with expert knowledge. Around 140,000 pupils and students take part every year (around 35,000 student teams and around 5,000 student teams). In addition to participants from Germany, “young stock brokers” from Luxembourg, Italy and France also take part every year - so the stock market simulation game has developed into the largest stock market simulation game in Europe since it was founded in 1983.

Whoever achieves the greatest increase in value in their virtual portfolio wins a decent subsidy for their studies.
