CESIM ELITE

The road to Cesim Elite 2021 starts here!

Powered by Cesim business games, Cesim Elite is open to students from all over the world. Participating teams are selected during national qualifying rounds to join the international Cesim Elite Final taking place from June 1st to 6th 2021.

Student teams will have the chance to showcase their business skills and represent their institution in an online business game competition. Each team is in charge of managing their own virtual company and competes with other student teams. Participants will have to apply analytical and decision-making skills, and also demonstrate their ability to work as a team and to strict deadlines.

Who can participate?

To be eligible, participants must be enrolled in an undergraduate, or a graduate program in a university, business school or other higher education institution.

Teams must consist of 3 to 5 participants and be registered for the competition by their institution. The maximum number of teams registered per institution might be limited in local qualifying competitions. Each institution must also designate a faculty member to support their team(s) during the competition. Faculty members are invited to attend a workshop taking place during the international Cesim Elite Final.

Ranking

During the Cesim Elite Final, the teams will be assessed and ranked by an independent jury. Assessment is based on performance in the business simulation, and also a group presentation testing each team's analytical and communication skills. The jury is composed of academics and industry professionals.

Teams will be separated into different streams, each stream represents the virtual market within which they will compete. A general ranking will be published to select the best teams across different streams. The winning criteria will depend on the case used for the competition. The case changes each year and is only revealed at the beginning of the tournament.
