ICAP APAC Case Challenge 2017

Location: Hong Kong

ICAP (http://www.icap.com/), a leading markets operator and provider of post trade risk mitigation and information services, will be organizing the ICAP APAC Case Challenge 2017.

About the Challenge
The ICAP APAC Case Challenge 2017 aims to bring together students from universities in Singapore, Hong Kong and Sydney. The theme of this year’s challenge is "Broking 2.0". Participants come together to pit their ideas and strategies against each other, to conceptualize and present fresh, innovative and feasible recommendations on a business challenge. Judges will be looking out for innovative ideas, creative yet feasible and well conceptualized solutions to meet the demands of the challenging financial market conditions.  

Format
Students are to form into teams of 3 to 4 members from the same university. Teams need to submit a short clip introducing themselves and a short write up on the question given. Shortlisted teams will be invited to ICAP for a half-day company visit and pre-competition briefing in which they will have a chance to interview ICAP employees in preparation for their report submission. The final round presentations will be held in either Singapore, Hong Kong or Sydney. Travel costs and accommodation will be covered by ICAP if your team is selected.
