“The impressions, as they are every year, are phenomenal. BBICC has consistently succeeded in supporting young talents by providing them with something closest to real business experience, with real problems and real feedback from people in the business world, from whom they can learn a lot. At the same time, my impression is that companies always have their eyes opened and are pointed to areas they haven’t considered, which I believe brings great value to everyone.“

“Being part of such a significant academic competition is both a privilege and an honor. The organization was at the highest level, as befits a competition of this nature. This was a very meaningful and interesting experience for me for several reasons. I had the opportunity to be in the company of young global talents, the best in this field, and to hear numerous creative and innovative solutions. I saw how they think when faced with challenges from the real business world. I believe that the feedback they received directly from business professionals, who have practical experience, was valuable to them. What impressed me the most was the energy and enthusiasm of the organizers, the professors from Faculty of Organizational Sciences, and everyone else involved. It is now absolutely clear to me why this is one of the top 10 business case competitions in the world.“

“Thank you very much, once again, for inviting us to the first BBICC. Our experience at the competition was one that will stay with us for the longest time. From the moment we stepped foot in Belgrade, the organizing committee of BBICC were exceptional. They were friendly, personable, understanding, and kept the programs running very smoothly, in an efficient manner. This really shows how much work you all have put in to ensure that everything was perfect for us, and to all of your credit, it really was. I am sure that beneath what we saw, there was much, much more work that went unseen, but not unappreciated! We applaud the enthusiasm with which you’ve brought this competition to life, and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone in Belgrade. We feel privileged and happy to have been the first champions of what, we’re sure, will emerge as a brilliant showcase of the wonderful country of Serbia for years to come!”
