WHAT HAPPENS AT THE EVENT
Work through the case with your team, then present the decisions you would make and explain the numbers behind them.
Start with the company database provided in the participant workspace. Explore the ten businesses, use their company profiles, financial records and linked sources, and choose one. Identify what it does well, what needs to change and what you still need to know.
Propose a fair market valuation, choose your ownership stake and explain the purchase price, funding and deal structure.
Explain your operating strategy and where technology or AI could help. Set out your 3-, 5- and 10-year plans with financial targets and risks.
Would you keep growing, hold for income or exit? Present your reasoning, expected returns and assumptions for discussion and judging.
