Education & A.I. Open Challenge 2025

World XP Open Season 3 | Competition Story

Summary

As part of the MBA International Case Competition hosted by Concordia University, we invited 188 volunteers to participate in the Education & A.I. Challenge as they witness 30 teams of MBA students presenting from across the world.

Volunteers ranged from age 18 to 45, from college, CEGEP to master students studying in institutions across Quebec. They play a crucial role in the success of this international event.

With the support of the organizers of the event, we held the Education & A.I. Open Challenge inviting teams to shed light on the use of A.I. at school and propose ideas on how to use A.I. ethically where they present to Higher Education Leaders. 

9 teams presented their ideas followed by an evaluation with judges from A.I. , Business Strategy and Higher Education fields. 

It is therefore with tremendous pleasure that we announce the rankings of the competition and look forward to seeing more from these brilliant students.
