Cracking the Cases: Lessons Learned at the HEC Business Game 2025

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.

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.
Earlier in March, a group of ten dedicated students from Frankfurt School went on an exciting journey to St. Gallen, Switzerland, to participate in START Hack, Europe’s most entrepreneurial hackathon. The initiative was organized through FS Coding, the university’s student tech community, which recently launched GDG on Campus – supported by Google. This group aims to spark interest in software development, artificial intelligence, and digital innovation by org anizing tech events such as career talks, coding sessions, and FS’s very first own Hackathon.

Breaking the bias: Women in Business and Tech at FS

Zeena Jaber

How much impact can an individual have? How much change can a group of women make in this world? I used to think that you can’t do much despite doing your best and having your best intentions in mind. My mindset has changed, however. I now believe that to so much as have one person question the way they think and re-evaluate their bias is incredible.

Boardroom Lessons: Strategy & Negotiation at Solvay Business Games 2025
Anirudh Kudavelly
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.
Sustainability has moved from a buzzword to a key component of strategic planning. With increasing consumer awareness, regulatory pressures, and the undeniable impacts of climate change, companies are recognizing the importance of pursuing sustainable strategies.
