AGENDA

We will officially launch the 2023 edition of the BCG Strategy Cup on Tuesday, April 18th. From home, you and your two teammates will participate in an interactive online game linked to the key topic that three major industry players want to tackle with you.

We will select the semi-finalist teams based on the online game results and the submission of their recommendation and creative ideas. Shortly after that, the selected students will be informed about their newly composed teams of six students (two teams of three students will merged into a team of six students).

A week later, on Thursday April 27, the semi-finalists teams will gather for a full day at the BCG Brussels office to further develop your initiatives while being coached by BCG consultants. In addition, you will have the opportunity to conduct a client interview with our partners representatives and take part in useful training sessions.

On Friday morning, April 28 all semi-finalists' teams are invited to present their three slides’ recommendations and initiatives to a jury formed by BCG, Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Fluxys and Lhoist, which will then select the four teams reaching the Strategy Cup 2023 finals.

The finals and closing event will take place at Square Convention Centre in Brussels from 5PM onwards. During the closing event, the four finalist teams will present their recommendations. You will also have the opportunity to meet BCG Managing Directors & Partners, Consultants as well as Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Fluxys and Lhoist’s leadership during a walking dinner and celebration.
