CaseKey: Case Competition '23

CaseKey Business Case Competition is an entrepreneurial contest for excellent students and young working professionals regardless of expertise or background, with an aspiration of uplifting Armenian businesses on the local and global playgrounds. To compete, participants break into teams of 3-5 people. The teams then pass coaching and training sessions, read a business case, and provide a solution for the problem or situation presented in the case. This solution is presented to judges in the form of verbal analysis and presentation. The team with the best solution wins the competition.
