What is a case competition?
In a case competition, you collaborate with other students to solve a case given by a company. Here, you use your academic skills in a work setting. After two days of collaboration and planning, critical evaluation and analysis, your group will come up with a solution. The solution will be presented in a brief "pitch" to a jury and the company that provided the case, and a winner will be chosen!
Theme: Sustainability and preparedness
The client is currently kept secret and will only be announced when the case competition starts and the case to be solved is presented.
