CONCEPT


The UGent Business Game is a case-solving competition for all students (starting from the third bachelor) with a strong interest for strategic thinking and problem-solving. We invite you to assemble a team of 4 and challenge yourselves during multiple business cases from top-notch companies. Improve your out-of-the-box thinking skills, enhance your teamwork performance and learn from the best.

The competition consists of three rounds and will take place during a full day at RodeBol Events (Sint-Denijslaan 485, 9000 Gent). During the first and second round, the challenges are provided by AB InBev and Deloitte. The top 10 teams move on to the grand finale which takes place in the evening and get to work on a business case from McKinsey & Company. When the preparation time of each case has ended, each team will pitch their ideas and solutions to a jury consisting of representatives of the company. Not only the final winners, but also the best performers in the Deloitte and AB InBev cases will be rewarded! Of course, all participants benefit from a fun and incredible learning experience.
