The Cesim Elite Europe qualifier took place over the weekend of April 1st-2nd, with 35 student teams from 7 different countries competing in an intense competition.

The competition was split into two parts, with 75% of the score based on the simulation and 25% based on the task that involved creating a poster and an explanation video. The judges combined the scores from both parts to determine the final rankings. The top three teams from this qualifier will now move on to the international final, which promises to be just as thrilling as this one! The winners this year are all from France, with RM&CO from Institut Paul Bocuse taking first place, followed by EM Strasbourg in second place and Pill-Poil from MBA ESG in third place. Congratulations to the teams!

Now, let's talk about the simulation used in the competition - Cesim Marketing with the Pharmaceutical case.

This case put the students' skills to the test, challenging them to manage the marketing strategy of an international pharmaceutical company.

They had to analyze data, understand market research, identify trends, and make strategic decisions based on their findings. The real-world scenario required quick thinking and on-the-spot decision-making.

In the simulation part, the performance of the teams was based on the Share Price of their company.
