Chulalongkorn International Case Competition 2021, the 7th edition and the first-ever virtual edition, was held on 25-29 May 2021. The event was organised by BBA students with 16 participating teams from 10 countries.
 
During the 5-day competition, teams had been given 8 and 24 hours to develop strategies for Campus Genius Center, a SAT tutoring school, and Betagro Group, a leading food and agriculture company, respectively. Teams presented both solutions to panel of judges in the preliminary rounds, and division winners then proceeded to the final presentation on 29 May. The event drew to a close with closing ceremony and award announcement with National University of Singapore taking the championship trophy home.
 
Overall, participants had not only gain case solving experiences, but they also had a chance to network with other students and advisors from around the globe and learn more about Thailand through virtual activities despite staying in their home countries.

Ever since CIBCC’s formation in 2014 with only nine participating teams, this year marks the 6th edition of CIBCC and is the largest edition to date, featuring 20 teams from 11 countries. 
 
The teams include Concordia University, Copenhagen Business School, Queen's University, HEC Montréal, American University of Beirut, National University of Singapore, University of Washington, University of Auckland, University of Münster, University of Alberta, UCSI University, Thammasat University, Mahidol University International College, University of New South Wales, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, University of Toronto, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Management University, and Chulalongkorn University.
 
This year, the event is hosted in one of the most prominent islands in Thailand, Koh Samui on May 20-26, 2019. The events included a very special Island Tour day, in which the participants get to spend their time exploring two islands by kayaking, hiking, and also snorkeling! On other days, teams were also able to play traditional Thai games prepared by the buddies and strolled around Bophut Walking Street. 
 
On behalf of the staff and buddies, I felt a need to thank the two amazing co-chairs, all my fellow staff and buddies, Case Club’s advisors and BBA program who made the event possible. It would not have been this successful and positive if everyone had not cooperated. The event has bonded us, and also gave us a great chance to connect with young business students all around the world.
 
CIBCC has yet again taken a step further into perfection. And we are all awaiting the next CIBCC!
 
The competition results are as follows: 
  • Champions: University of New South Wales
  • First Runner-up: Queen’s University
  • Second Runner-up: University of Auckland
  • Third Runner-up: Mahidol University

“On February 20th, 2021, a team of Chula sophomores, including two BBA students and two ISE students, won the SCG Bangkok Business Challenge Thailand Competition 2021 at Sasin as well as a spot in the Global Competition. The team includes Mr. Chavaroj Thongpoch and Ms. Napassorn Triwiratchakul from BBA together with Mr. Thanapat Pornsirianant and Mr. Krit Uthaisang from ISE. With the theme “Growing Beyond Profit with Sustainable Innovation," the team was able to clinch the award through months of hard-work and dedication. Our idea is to transform a local by-product from the silk industry into a nutritious protein shake powder to provide more options for people at a more affordable price. The competition is known to be Asia's longest-running global student startup competition. Due to the growing COVID-19 situation, the competition was organised virtually with a total of 58 teams nationwide, including both undergraduate and postgraduate students, competed against one another to win the spot in the Global Round. Also, the team would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the BBA and ISE International Program, the advisors, and the judges, who have given the team great assistance and helpful guidance throughout the competition.”
