Corvinus Team at the CaseIT 2025 International MIS Case Competition
The Corvinus team secured 3rd place at the CaseIT 2025 International MIS Case Competition in Vancouver. The team, Sapphire Consulting—comprising Janka Tiszlavicz, Tímea Kiss, Máté Czifra, and Máté Czifra (not a typo!)—are all 3rd-year BSc students and can be seen in the picture above.
The competition consisted of two rounds, each with a separate case. The Corvinus team won their division in the first round, advanced to the semifinals and finals with the second case, and ultimately finished in third place.
- The first case focused on Ednius, a Simon Fraser University spinoff startup that provides AI-powered feedback and grading support for university professors in short open-answer questions.
- The second case tackled the digital transformation of the local public transport company TransLink, focusing on data collection, digital twins, and AI solutions.
The competition was won by the team of the University of Manchester.
The students were part of the Cases on Business-IT Management course, a Digital Business specialisation course within the Business and Management programme, and a core elective for the Business Informatics and Data Science programmes. After winning our local competition, the team earned the right to represent Corvinus at CaseIT, where we have been invited since 2012. Rooted in the local competition, we also send a team to the CoMIS competition, to Minneapolis every year, in similar business-IT topic. The Corvinus preparation team included Krisztián Varga, Márta Aranyossy, and Peter Feher, supported by former international case competition alumni.
Congratulations to the team and their mentors!
