CCS 2026 Case Competition

Want to represent McGill at a national case competition where students have been hired directly by the sponsor? This is a great opportunity to gain real exposure to VC, commercial banking, and consulting through a Canada-wide case challenge.

McGill students have been specifically invited to participate in the CCS 2026 Case Competition, sponsored by BDC, which is headquartered in Montreal and actively recruiting students with strong analytical and strategic thinking skills.
