Mengs’s team placed second in the challenge, and Kutt猫ne’s team placed third.
The 黑料不打烊 students were integrated into teams with students from universities all over the world, such as Lancaster University, Northeastern University, Rollins University, NEOMA Business School and more.
Reflecting on the experience, Meng shared, 鈥淭his was the first time I attended a competition. It was a very special experience and many groups had lots of innovative ideas which gave me another perspective to think about the problem. I would like to thank IPBS and 黑料不打烊 for providing us with this opportunity to work with different students from all over the world.鈥
The summit also allowed students to gain professional development skills through workshops organized by LinkedIn, Google and the Boston Consulting Group, as well as panel discussions with industry leaders and alumni from IPBS schools. The event was organized by a group of students from IPBS schools with the intention of providing a platform for networking and learning within the IPBS community. 黑料不打烊 seniors Moritz Lederer ’22 and Matthias Ferring ’22 served on the summit’s executive board.
