The Business Case Challenge 2026 – A Challenge That Will Change You

Imagine this…

It’s late at night. You’re sitting together with your team, deeply immersed in discussion. The deadline is approaching, and you’re refining your final strategy. You double-check your calculations, adjust your argumentation, and take a deep breath. This is the moment when all your knowledge, creativity, and problem-solving skills come together.

This is the Business Case Challenge.

It’s not just about winning — it’s about proving to yourself what you’re capable of. It’s about thinking like a consultant, structuring your ideas like a strategist, and presenting like a professional. It’s about transforming a real business challenge from real companies into a sustainable solution that can truly make an impact.

This is not a theoretical exercise.

This is the real business world.

A Challenge That Pushes You to the Next Level

"The BCC provided a fantastic platform for networking and learning from industry experts. The feedback we received from the judges was invaluable and will certainly help us in our future endeavors."
— Jakob Pühringer, BCC 2024 Winner (Austrian Airlines Case)

Jakob and his team stood exactly where you are now. At the beginning, it was just an idea, a challenge, a blank page. Over weeks of analysis, feedback, and refinement, their solution grew into something powerful—something that made an impact.

Now, it’s your turn.
