Amsterdam Case Competition Workshops

The Amsterdam Case Competition (ACC) is an international case competition in which teams from 12 prestigious universities from all over the world come to our campus for a week to compete against each other by solving real life business problems provided by companies. Next to these international teams we invite you to get a taste of case solving, with prestigious companies, during the workshop cases on the 4th and 8th of April. Solve real life business challenges, present your solutions to company representatives and connect with peers and recruiters from our 4 workshop case partners: Bluefield, Gupta Strategists, Amazon and INNOPAY.

Bluefield is a hands-on consultancy firm that supports ambitious organizations in becoming more efficient and more successful. Founded in 2008 by Marco Stegeman and Remco Koopman as they both thought businesses in the Netherlands could benefit from a more hands-on approach to consulting, which was then largely focused on only giving advice and not on supporting and helping during the transformation after the advice.
What does Bluefield focus on?
Optimizing the internal organization and streamline internal processes with our expertise in the fields of Finance, Business Intelligence, ERP systems and Management Information and ESG. After a thorough analysis of the clients processes, we deliver solutions and a project plan with feasible steps to take. When we leave, we are sure impact has been made! Bluefield has around 100 employees currently, but we are expanding rapildy. This means Bluefield offers a fast paced and dynamic environment with the chance to really be a part of the organization.
