Longtze Student Cup

Lufthansa, a partner to the students and the "Longtze Student Cup"

The "Longtze Student Cup", the brand new student circuit conceived this winter by a group of students from Lyon's grandes écoles, has already found a partner: Lufthansa! The German airline thus continues its involvement in the world of sailing by associating its values and image with this new sporting event especially for students.

Some fifteen grandes écoles have already signed up including the HEC, Ecole Navale, Mines de Paris, Centrale Lyon, Centrale Paris, Supelec, Supaéro, the INSA, etc. Others are exected to join them. A reasonable investment, an open circuit at all student events and throughout the professional regatta world, a sports boat, which can easily be transported and adapts to all waters, media support… these are the keys to the immediate success of the Longtze Student Cup.

Strengthened by the commitment of these solid actors, the organisers of the Longtze Student Cup set their goals high: their event is designed to last and to become a leading student circuit.

For Lufthansa, the aim of this partnership is both to allow students to discover its many advantages and to raise awareness among these businessmen and women of the future of its founding values.
