A GLOBAL CASE COMPETITION
GLOBAL is an international case competition and CBS Case Competition’s response to an increasingly digitized world. GLOBAL 2022 is open for all university students globally and it is a chance for anyone, no matter location, to compete with some of the top case teams out there. The initial round and semi-finals will be held digitally, allowing all students from around the world to take part in the case solving experience. The GLOBAL 2023 final will be held in-person and streamed online from Copenhagen Business School. The top 3 teams will be flown into Copenhagen and present in-person in the grand final which is livestreamed to all relevant platforms. GLOBAL is your chance to practice case-solving and be challenged by a panel of industry-leading professionals, which is an experience rarely gained while studying.

If your team proceeds to the semi-finals, CBS Case Competition will need confirmation of enrolment from all team members. Because of the short time between the preliminary round and the semi-finals, please have the appropriate documentation ready in advance.
Notice: as semifinals will be hosted online, it is a requirement that participating teams can facilitate stable and a high bandwidth internet connection and high-quality sound and video equipment.
The solution must be submitted as a single PDF document consisting of:
- A slide deck of maximum 15 slides inclusive appendices, but exclusive front page.
You can upload as many solutions as you want to (e.g. drafts and test submissions) - the last upload will be your final submission.

Therefore, to ensure fairness of competition, each team member is required to sit individually, but in a group video call with the rest of the team.
There is no fee for participating.
