The John Molson MBA International Case Competition at Concordia University in Montreal, is the oldest, largest, and the most prestigious international business case competition in the world. The 27th annual International Case Competition will begin on the evening of January 7th and end on January 12th, 2008.

Message from the Mayor of Montréal
The John Molson MBA International Case Competition represents an outstanding initiative by Concordia University. The 27th annual competition will bring to Montréal some of the best MBA students from the world’s top business schools. This event provides these students with a unique opportunity to forge links between themselves and business leaders. I am proud that this competition, the oldest and most prestigious of its kind, is taking place in our city.
By providing teams with actual cases, the competition promotes innovation and features the international business community’s future generations. The event is modelled on Montréal, a city that stands out for its know-how, creative spirit and originality.
I would like to congratulate the organizers and in particular, the group of students responsible for preparing and coordinating this week of competitions. I wish our visitors, along with their professors and the corporate executives who will participate in the success of this event, an excellent stay in Montréal.
Good luck to all of the teams. I hope Montréal’s dynamism will inspire you to win this international competition.
