Theme 2022: Breaking New Ground

To stay ahead of competition and stay relevant in today’s ever-changing society, coming up with and implementing innovative solutions is key to achieving sustainable growth. Additionally, as we enter a period where we must learn how to live and operate in (post-)pandemic circumstances, it is of great importance to look beyond the current way of doing and think of new ideas to bring businesses into the future, with our renewed realities. The RSM STAR Case Competition challenges the most talented business students to present their best and most innovative solutions to our Case Partners which will Break New Ground. We are proud to announce that the RSM STAR Case Competition 2022 is all about Breaking New Ground.

Participants 2022

Every year we invite universities from the RSM’s top-ranked network of partner business schools to compete in our Case Competition. Achievements in past case competitions, an outstanding case-solving reputation, as well as equal geographical dispersion are criteria taken into account when selecting applicants. 

This year the RSM STAR Case Competition is looking forward to welcome 16 participating teams to Rotterdam!
