About the Business Case Challenge
In 2020, the Business Case Challenge was launched for the first time by the initiators DDr. Michael Tojner and Univ.-Prof. dr Jonas Puck. This project is carried out together with the Vienna University of Economics and Business and in cooperation with the eXplore! initiative and is taking place for the fourth time this year.
​
In cooperation with partners and sponsors, the BCC encourages students to analyze and solve real problems in the form of a business case. The Business Case Challenge is a non-profit ideas competition and is growing from year to year in terms of participants and practice partners!​
Our goal is to put the theory of economics into practice in order to be able to generate new and innovative ideas. Pupils and students are offered the unique opportunity to actively work on current topics and challenges of Austrian companies and to help shape the future in the long term.
In a short video Co-initiator DDr. Michael Tojner tells you more about the project.
