The competition
Real cases. Real stakes.
Everything you need to know to take part — who can compete, how the day works, how you’re judged, and what’s on the line.
01 / Who competes
Bring the drive.
High school students
Open to all high school students across Greater Vancouver. No prior case-competition experience required.
Four to six
Compete as a team of four to six delegates. Register with your own team, or ask to be placed.
Free entry
There is no entry fee. Financial accessibility is the reason Momentum exists.
Analyze & present
Break down a real-world business case, form a recommendation, and pitch it live to a judging panel.
02 / The room
Judged by professionals.
Teams present to panels of professionals from across the business world — spanning finance, strategy, marketing, and operations. Judges assess the depth of your analysis, the clarity of your recommendation, and how convincingly you present it.
The emphasis is on thinking clearly under pressure and communicating with confidence. Feedback from the panel is part of the experience, so every team leaves having learned something concrete.

A real reward for sharp thinking.
The winning team is rewarded for standout strategy and delivery — but the real prize is the experience every delegate takes home.
04 / Next iteration
2027 — dates TBA.
The date for the next Momentum Case Competition is still to be announced. The details above reflect the inaugural conference held on April 11, 2026 at UBC Sauder School of Business.
