Harvard Crimson Global Case Competition 2026

HCGCC places students in the role of consultants and business leaders. Teams analyze a real company challenge, develop a strategy, and progress through regional and global rounds. Participants also receive access to on-demand bootcamps and live webinars with industry experts, building practical skills in strategy, problem-solving, teamwork, and presentation.

Must be 13–18 years old and currently attending secondary/high school, or have graduated but not yet begun university. Teams must consist of 2–4 students. No prior business or economics experience is required.

Each student registers individually using a non-school email address and pays the registration fee. After individual registration, students form a team of 2–4 and complete team registration. All members must complete individual registration or the team is disqualified.
