Nearly all of the organizers are <a href=\"https:\/\/damore-mckim.northeastern.edu\/cem\/student-associates\/\">Student Associates<\/a> at CEM, recognized for their dedication to deepening their understanding of emerging markets and representing CEM as student ambassadors at the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The competition attracted 90 students from 20 teams and six colleges, with 12 teams advancing after a rigorous screening process. Teams were often multidisciplinary, bringing together students from several different colleges across Northeastern, including the College of Engineering, D'Amore-McKim School of Business, Khoury College of Computer Sciences, and the College of Science. Together, they tackled a complex real-world challenge: How should an Indian company expand into Africa? Students had just two days to analyze the case, considering market conditions, cultural nuances, and risk management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/damore-mckim.northeastern.edu\/cem\/people\/william-a-lovely-iii\/\">William A. Lovely, III<\/a>, who guided the event alongside Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/damore-mckim.northeastern.edu\/cem\/people\/larissa-marchiori-pacheco\/\">Larissa Marchiori Pacheco<\/a>, remarked on how students from diverse backgrounds contributed unique insights. The competition offered $3,000 in prizes, made possible by a gift to CEM by D'Amore-McKim School of Business Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/damore-mckim.northeastern.edu\/people\/joseph-m-giglio\/\">Joe Giglio<\/a>. But the real prize might have been the opportunity to present in front of 17 seasoned executives who served as judges, many of whom have led major international business initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;As one student shared, &#8220;Their feedback was invaluable &#8211; you can't get this kind of experience in a classroom.&#8221; For these students, the competition was more than a challenge &#8211; it was a step toward becoming global business leaders. The Center for Emerging Markets looks forward to hosting more events like this, where students take the lead, and tackle real-world problems with innovative solutions, and defend their decisions in front of senior executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
