Last weekend, Oikos Barcelona hosted the 👩‍💻🧑‍💻 Consultancy Case Cracking Competition at Esade, bringing together students, professionals, and ideas around sustainability, innovation, and real-world impact💡🌱. The event challenged participants to tackle a real business sustainability case and develop a digital, 🤖AI-driven solution to address it. Working in teams, students engaged with a live industrial challenge presented by AG Solution Group, with the support of Sergio Hernandez, shared valuable insight on their specialization in digital transformation and industrial solutions🦾. The teams developed strategic pitches proposing practical, data-driven responses🌟. Beyond the competition itself, the event also opened space for a broader conversation 💬 on sustainability and impact through a 🎤 roundtable discussion on ESG, innovation, and the realities of working in this space. We were pleased to welcome: Mario Levy Jiménez De Parga of Share to Go🚗, who shared the startup perspective on reducing transport emissions through shared mobility Rebeca Sánchez , sustainability expert at Naturgy and former consultant at McKinsey, who brought a corporate and strategic perspective on ESG 📈 Oskar Irmler and & Helena Manzanares Silo Gambasse, who shared their experience in humanitarian and impact-driven work in Guinea-Bissau 🤲 A sincere thank you to everyone who made this possible. To our case partner, speakers, and sponsors for supporting the initiative and helping bring this first edition to life: Publimark, BonpreuEsclat, and Casa Batlló, Gaudí Barcelona . And especially to the team behind the event: Nicole Fuentes, Helena Collart Casoni-Valenti, Gioielli Alegre Vaz , Pol Santín García, Ioana Radu, and Clara Bifani. We are excited to keep building initiatives that connect students with real-world challenges and create meaningful impact.💚 Stay tuned.
