Round win and excellent performance by our students in Rotterdam!

The Rotterdam International Case Academy organized the Rotterdam International Case Competition Bootcamp 2024 from 26-27 September 2024 in Rotterdam, where teams of students from 5 European universities were able to compare their skills, gaining valuable and important practical experience through the three cases they solved. The participating teams came from four different countries: the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany and Romania. The team of four students from Babeș-Bolyai University and GTK performed excellently, winning the second round and finishing overall third in their group.

The members of the team from Cluj-Napoca were: Péter Bereczki-Orbán (2nd year, Business Information Systems), Boglárka Fazakas (1st year, Business Information Systems), Boglárka Hajdó (1st year, Business Information Systems), and Tamás Ilyés (1st year, Management), accompanied by Kende Pásztor. During the competition, they had to compete in three rounds: the first round (6-day case) was about Tesla’s expansion perspective, in the second round (3-hour case) the teams had to propose a network growth solution for the Honeygrow’s healthy restaurant chain, and in the third round (3-hour case) the students had to propose a solution for the development and further expansion of Flashfood’s environmentally sustainable operations.

The Babeș-Bolyai team competed against Heilbronn University (Germany), Avans University (Netherlands), and Rotterdam Business School (Netherlands) during the group stage. The team from Cluj-Napoca showed great progress during the camp and eventually succeeded in winning the second round in the group stage with an excellent performance, finishing the case study camp in overall third place of the group.

First and second place at the 2024 Rotterdam International Case Competition Bootcamp went to two teams from Heilbronn University.

The coaches of the students from Cluj were Dr. Levente Szász, Dr. Lehel Györfy and Dr. Béla-Gergely Rácz. Congratulations to team Babeș-Bolyai and GTK for their excellent performance and results!
