Last year’s winners were a team of students from Aarhus University, so why not let that result begin a tradition when it comes to the Beat the Elite competition?

Beat the Elite is the largest open case competition in Scandinavia with students from universities in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland taking part.

Four students form a team to participate. The participating teams are presented with a realistic business case, provided with various facilities – and then have 24 hours to solve the case during the week beginning Monday 23 February.

Consultants from The Boston Consulting Group will select the five best solutions among those submitted. The students behind the solutions that are selected will be invited to present their business case solution in front of a large audience at Copenhagen Business School on Friday 27 February.
