Global Case Competition at Harvard 2025

The Global Case Competition at Harvard brings together the best and the brightest minds around the world to solve a business case problem. The competition has attracted 1000+ teams (4100+ students) across the world to compete for a chance to win $10,000. Teams are given 3 weeks to prepare and submit a solution, and the top 10 teams will be invited to pitch their solutions to a panel of judges comprising of distinguished business executives and Harvard Business School professors in April.

Participants will also have access to a series of online networking events and panels discussions featuring representatives from top Consulting firms, Private Equity firms, and Investment Banks, amongst others.

​Join now for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to receive a world-class learning experience through a hands-on business case, and to build a unique network with students from all over the world and with executives from the world’s leading institutions!
 

The Case

We bring together students with finance and business backgrounds from across the world to compete at Harvard on a finance case. 

  • Receive a world-class learning experience through a hands-on business case.

  • Network and connect with leading firms and business executives.

  • Enhance your business, communication, and teamwork skills through a challenging workshop series.

 

A three week long case competition with a grand final at Harvard University in the presence of first class business executives.

The teams will have to perform the  following tasks:

  • Industry Analysis

  • Company Analysis

  • Financial Analysis & Valuation

 

Students will work in a dynamic environment in which they will get first-hand experience on investment banking and private equity.

 

The case is related to the investment banking and private equity world. It focuses on a major finance event which students will have to study and analyse. Last year's edition encompassed an M&A scenario involving Amazon.

 

Just like in a real world situation, teams will have to create a pitch book. The teams in the top ten receive an invitation to present their work in front of a first class jury at Harvard University. All participants are invited to join the on-campus weekend at Harvard University.

 

Meet the future leaders and get a chance to network with world leading institutions and business executives during our on-campus weekend.

 

Build a unique network during our social events, gala, lectures, workshops, and spend an unforgettable time with the global elite. Showcase your intelligence to the world, develop new skills and compete with the very best.
