A unique opportunity for you to improve your case-solving skills
March 30 - April 3, 2020
What is ACC Advanced?
Aarhus Case Competition is one of the biggest case competitions in the Nordics gathering top business students.
In the Advanced track, nine selected teams will be solving three different real-life cases: two introductory cases and one extensive 30-hour main case, where the winning team will receive the title of Case Solving Champions and other amazing prizes.
My participation in ACC enabled me to experience a complex business problem first-hand, from which I had the possibility to experience some of the challenges in a real-life business problem which is not possible in the general courses at the university.

Damborg
Partner in Corporate Finance, Deloitte
“For the eighth consecutive year, we are committed to contributing to the inspirational environment of Aarhus Case Competition. Why? Because of you and our shared inspiration. The actual feeling of being inspired has a certain beauty, as it can arise in the company of dedicated people, the development of tasks, the feeling of making a difference for clients and colleagues, the joy of gaining new knowledge or just sharing a good laugh with new friends. No matter what the source of the inspiration is, we always experience the strong power of its presence – a power that, in our opinion, characterises Aarhus Case Competition. And experiencing the high level of that combined with ambition, collaboration, engagement, and inquisitive spirit; it is simply rewarding to be part of.”
Troels H. Petersen
Senior Vice President, Corporate M&A at Danfoss
"For me, Aarhus Case Competition is a unique opportunity to work with some of the most skilled young people and see what they can do and to show them who we are. When we look around, Danfoss has never been more relevant to the world. We are determined to stay relevant and to succeed we need the right people. I would expect some of the right people to be here at ACC."
Dirk Fust
CEO, Lidl Denmark
“Lidl has been part of the Aarhus Case Competition before, but this is my first time attending the very interesting and prestigious event. Being a part of the jury is an honor, and meeting the bright and talented minds, who have made it to the Aarhus Case Competition finale, is something I am looking forward to. I am sure that the carefully selected finalists will provide case solutions of high quality and of great inspiration for me both personally and professionally.”
Per Baltzer
Vice-Dean, Research and Talent at Aarhus BSS
“There are several reasons why I want to be part of the ACC experience. First, it is plain exciting to see how well the students perform under extreme pressure. Secondly, it is always a great pleasure (in my position) to see just how good the students are academically. Thirdly, the students' case-solving skills show that the distance between academia and business is far shorter than it is often claimed."

"NNIT has been a committed partner of Aarhus Case Competition for the past three consecutive years, but this is my first time participating and I am really looking forward to meeting all the talented students at Aarhus BSS - where I originate from myself som decades ago. In NNIT, we solve cases for our customers every day, and we are always trying to renew and improve the way we do it. I really look forward to seeing the innovative and creative solutions from the students - and get inspired personally and professionally by their ideas, perspectives, and energy."

“In H&B, we have strong roots in the academic world, and we are always eager to learn, get inspired and share our own knowledge and expertise. ACC is a great opportunity for doing just that. It is also a unique way forstudents to practise the art of problem-solving which I am sure will be a valuable skill for them in their future careers, no matter where that may be. I am looking very much forward to taking part in this exciting event.”
