Blockchain Challenge 2021 – from valuable experiences to future-oriented technologies

Felix Novotny

Since 2017, the University of Basel has been hosting an annual challenge where students are once again “lured” out of the lecture halls, or even by the pending COVID-19 chaos, from their desks at home and can prove their technical, business development and presentation skills. For this year, a remote only event has been created for the first time.

How my start-up idea won the Solve for Tomorrow Challenge
Katharina Porenta
Before this challenge, I had never actually considered starting my own business. I am, however, very excited and grateful to have been given the opportunity to go through this process and also to apply a lot of the skills we have acquired at FS so far.
In December 2020, two Master of Finance students, Hauke Lehnhoff and Lucas Peikert, won the prestigious GARP Research Award to conduct research on the ”Impact of Fiscal and Monetary Policy on Asset Liquidity Metrics”.

Entrepreneurship meets the Swiss Alps: winning the ETH InCube challenge 2020
Lucia Ariel Hotti
Entrepreneurship always intrigued me, so when in early Spring I received an advertisement about ETH Zurich’s InCube challenge, I immediately applied. As a business student at FS I knew that immersing myself in a start-up environment would be an enriching experience, so I was thrilled to know that I had been selected as one of the 20 participants.
As part of the alliance, we the Frankfurt School Business Game initiative were able to participate in the 2019 rendition of the annual AEBG Summit in Brussels taking place from the 4. – 6. October. In the following I would like to share with you the great experience my fellow colleagues and I had.

My Hackathon experience as a MADS student
Dipanshu Gupta
On the 20th and the 21st of September 2019, over a span of 25 hours, a young cohort of individuals came together to solve a task that had been a problem for the ECB for some time: how to automatically classify products into categories so that inflation rates can be monitored and forecasted?
After months of hard work, we settled down to wait. So when we got the e-mail in early May – the e-mail telling us we’d made it through to the finals in Frankfurt – we could hardly believe our luck. We were one of the top teams – the last six teams – out of dozens of teams from all over Germany.

Grabbing Opportunities at the UCL Business Game

Sofie Sharaf

On October 19th and 20th, I took part in my first ever Business Game. Why it was a great experience and why you should try to join one whenever possible, I will tell you in this blog post! You might know the concept of a case study from classes you have taken. It is always a great way to connect theoretical with practical thinking.

Nowcasting Inflation: Machine Learning to resolve the classification challenge?

Lukas Henkel

Understanding inflation dynamics is crucial for the conduct of monetary policy. However, official inflation statistics are published only with a time lag. Hence, central bankers are interested in “nowcasting” inflation, among other variables. Nowadays we have data on prices of individual products posted every day on the internet.
