What the IE Business Case Competition taught me about business and myself

Martha Zoller

In February, I flew to Madrid with three teammates and a lot of nervous energy. We were there to compete at the IE Business School Case Competition 2026, one of the most respected international case competitions in Europe, alongside universities from across the world. I came back with a lot more than I expected. I have been thinking about what exactly changed after that week and I keep coming back to the same answer: case competitions teach you things that no lecture, no group assignment, and no internship can fully replicate.

Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability – Progress or Problem?
Lucas Mayer-Klenk
Artificial Intelligence is transforming our world faster than ever, not only impacting how we work, but also the way we live. As one of the key drivers of digitalization and automation, AI shapes industries and societies worldwide. Yet, its effects on sustainability topics are often overlooked in the mainstream debate.
For FS Swimming, the World Inter University Championships (WIUC) marked the team’s first international appearance — an exciting opportunity to represent Frankfurt School on a global stage and compete alongside some of the world’s most talented student athletes.

What began as a small team has grown into a passionate group of students spread across nine departments: Human Resources, Marketing, Finance, Spring Run, Easter Donation, Spring Concert, Joblinge, LEO and Volunteering.
For a few weeks now, Frankfurt School has been offering its students new seating in the Creative Learning Lounge opposite the Deli. The 18 seating cubes each represent a UN sustainability goal, as well as current progress and urgency.

Sebastian Luca Blüggel

This March, my teammate Yannick Saenger and I  had the thrilling opportunity to represent Frankfurt School of Finance & Management at the HEC Business Game 2025, an intense and dynamic case competition that brings together some of the brightest young minds in business. Over two days, students from top universities worldwide tackled real-world business challenges, collaborated with industry leaders, and tested their ability to think critically under pressure. The experience was not just about solving cases - it was about adaptability, innovation, and pushing personal boundaries.

HEC Business Game 2025: Working on Real World Business Challenges
Aaryamann Bhaskar
Earlier this month, I had the incredible opportunity to represent Frankfurt School of Finance & Management at the HEC Business Game 2025 held in Paris. Known as one of the most competitive and prestigious case competitions in Europe, the event brought together 150 talented students from 55 universities and 33 countries.
As Master of Finance students at Frankfurt School, we are naturally familiar with topics like valuation, financial modelling, and M&A dynamics from an academic perspective. However, applying these concepts in a high-pressure, fast-paced negotiation setting was an entirely different story.
