More than 100 participants developed innovative solutions

The Ural Federal University Graduate School of Economics and Management completed the case championship "World Analyst Games" from the International Economics and Business educational program. 23 teams of students in grades 10-11 and first-year students of the program presented case solutions related to the real situation in the fast casual industry, taking into account the global experience of industry players and the implementation of digital end-to-end technologies.

Participants gained invaluable experience in solving cases, as well as received certificates and diplomas, gifts from the organizers and corporate partners, and the opportunity to take an internship and receive career counseling. This year the best teams among high school students receive two additional points toward the Unified State Exam.

"Сreativity, ambition, and working for results are the secret to the success of future global analysts. I am sure that a career starts not with the first job or internship, but from the moment a person thinks about it. The Analysts World Games Case Championship is a unique opportunity to dive into the world of business and try to find a solution to complex problems. Every year we meet a lot of young talented students who confidently pursue their goal, it's inspiring. I thank the team of creators for the brilliant organization of the event and hope to continue working together," commented Elena Kabanova, manager of the Corporate Services Department at PwC Ekaterinburg.
