Five teams of university students were awarded winners of the 2022 HKGCC Business Case Competition to win internship opportunities, a one-year HKGCC student membership, and cash prizes.

More than 500 students from various universities in Hong Kong came up with some 140 proposals for the competition themed "Evolving Business in a Changing World." Each of the competition's five sponsors – Chinachem Group, Jardine Matheson, NWS Holdings, Sino Group and Swire Group – set a specific business case for the students to come up with possible solutions. Topics ranged from cutting-edge technologies to wellness and philanthropy.

The final on 13 January marked the fourth time that HKGCC has held the contest. It was fantastic to see the level of enthusiasm among students and their creativity continues to grow every year. The competition provides students with a fantastic opportunity to apply text book knowledge they have learned to real-life situations.

Each winning team of individual company challenges received a cash prize of HK$30,000, and the chance to have an internship at the company, while the first and second runners up received HK$20,000 and HK$10,000 respectively.
