HKGCC Business Case Competition was launched in 2019 to promote the exchange of ideas between university students and businesses as well as encourages students to develop innovative and creative solutions for real-life business cases. Themed “Building better, brighter businesses”, the competition invited tertiary students and recent graduates to provide ideas and solutions to crack the business cases formulated by one of the five sponsors, including Citibank, Great Eagle Group, NEC, NWS and Sino Group.

Top 5 teams from each sponsor’s track were selected to proceed to the Semi-Final (Mentoring Phase) where mentors from each sponsor’s track provided guidance to the Semi-final Teams to refine their respective submissions.

Student's Sharing:

"This priceless experience had inspired us from comprehensive perspectives. During the preparation stage, we enriched ourselves with an exploration of this novel industry, ranging from its current challenges to future opportunities. Meanwhile, by listening to other teams’ presentations and judges’ comments, we had a taste of the real business world by the practical consideration such as revenue forecast as well as integration of profitability and sustainability. We were honoured to be offered this chance to nourish our technical knowledge and soft skills, unleashing our potential beyond the classroom."
