About Us
CityUBusiness Proposal and Competition Club
BPCC is an academic society under CityU College of Business, founded in 2014, aiming at strengthening students competitiveness through business competition training. Throughout the years, we have cooperated with several companies to hold annual business competitions in CityU, also supporting our society members to achieve success in local, regional and international business competitions.
Words from the President
Rachel Lau
Business competitions provide students with valuable chances and opportunities to a deeper insight of a company’s operation, better real-life knowledge in terms of different industries and social topics. We, as Business Proposal and Competition Club, aim to promote the business competition culture among students in City University of Hong Kong, by combining theory and practice in business competitions and enhancing students’ competitiveness from different perspectives.
Building upon BPCC's strong foundation in training students for local and international case competitions, this year we aim to pioneer transformative and innovative case cracking experiences that redefine the approach to these competitions. Our goal is to bridge the divide between academic theory and real-world business application by providing members with invaluable opportunities to solve practical, industry-relevant problems. The flagship CityU Case Competition 2024 in Semester B will not only promote a thriving competition culture among the broader student community at CityU and in Hong Kong, but we endeavor to elevate it further by forging university partnerships locally and regionally. Moreover, we are exploring possibilities to redefine the conventional case competition format by introducing game-changing new rules and structures.
BPCC looks forward to this academic year with great passion and excitement. We harbor a genuine hope that we can enjoy this journey and create our best memory together.
