The ICBSC is the world’s longest running and most comprehensive business competition. Up to now, 53 international competitions have been successfully held.  Teams of students, in a simulated real-world competition, take over the management of a simulated or virtual company and compete for best performance. Students work out business proposals as well as annual projections and report to “the Board”. This competition aims at imparting competitors the ability of employing their acquired business knowledge, in a simulated environment and running companies virtually.
