About SICC
2025 will mark the 35th year of the Scotiabank International Case Competition at the Ivey Business School and the 25th year of sponsorship by Scotiabank. This case competition is organized and managed entirely by Ivey students and the competition consistently attracts top teams from all over the world. As one of the most respected case competitions, this event provides a unique opportunity to share ideas with peers who have diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
The competition has three main objectives:
- to provide a forum where undergraduate business students can experience real world business problems through case preparations and learn from the diverse perspectives of international competitors;
- to encourage meaningful relationships between students and faculty of business schools around the world; and,
- to provide an opportunity for industry to witness the future leaders and to engage in undergraduate business education.
The 2025 competition will take place in person from March 18 - 22, 2025 in London, Ontario, Canada.
