Amsterdam Case Competition 2026

 

The Amsterdam Case Competition (ACC) is a unique opportunity for twelve teams from top business schools worldwide to compete with each other by presenting their solutions for real-life business cases.

The Amsterdam Case Competition

The ACC consists of a unique competition format, which allows for maximum immersion of participants into the cases provided.
The teams will be challenged in assessing the real-life issues organizations are facing today, analyzing available information, crafting solutions, and defending their recommendations in front of a jury of high-level business leaders and high-end academic professors. The competition week provides a rigorous platform that tests students’ case analysis capabilities, challenges students to think creatively, and empowers them to present with confidence in front of esteemed industry professionals on an international stage.

The first edition of the Amsterdam Case Competition will be held from March 12th, 2026 to March 17th, 2026.
