Warsaw School of Economics best in show in 2015, HEC in 2016, who in 2017?
In 2016, it was the Home life team from HEC Paris that won the favour of a jury composed of international personalities such as Jelena Djokovic (Novak Djokovic Foundation), Chanda Gonzales (Google Lunar XPrize), Olivier Schaack (Canal+)… and brought the trophy to France.
Two events that showcase the MBA, but in which students from other courses could go home with special awards, those for Best Performers in each category (Engineering,Fintech,Design..) in the afternoon, and end upon the podium.
