own the case Room

AIBC challenges teams with two high-stakes cases: a 6-hour and a 30-hour. Delegates bring sharp thinking and real-world experience to tackle complex business problems.

Their solutions are practical, impactful, and designed to create real value for the organizations involved.

A case competition is an exciting, time-sensitive challenge where student teams analyze a real business problem and develop innovative solutions.
Teams receive a detailed case outlining the issue and have limited time to research, strategize, and prepare a presentation. They then present their recommendations to a panel of judges who evaluate their creativity, feasibility, and impact. Case competitions provide hands-on experience, helping students apply classroom knowledge to real-world business challenges across areas like marketing, finance, strategy, operations, and more.
A fast-paced, 6-hour challenge partnering with a local Jasper business. Deliver bold, high-impact solutions under tight time pressure.
