A4S Case Competition "The Business Case for Nature" - UBC Kick Off Event
🌍 Join us for the A4S International Case Competition 2026 Kick-Off Event!
The A4S International Case Competition (A4SICC) is a global opportunity for students to help shape a future where sustainable business becomes business as usual. It’s your chance to share bold ideas and have them heard by leaders from some of the world’s most influential companies.
Each year, the competition explores a new theme, bringing together a diverse group of business and accounting students—the business leaders of tomorrow—to channel their creativity into solving some of today’s most pressing challenges.
