Third Place at UIBCC 2026 in Mexico City

Our team achieved an excellent 3rd place at the first edition of the UIBCC 2026 in Mexico City, hosted by Universidad Panamericana in cooperation with IPADE Business School.

Over the course of the week, the team took part in a diverse program including networking events, an academic day, a company workshop with Capgemini, and the competition itself. The highlight was an intense 24-hour case, in which participants developed a solution for Vertex, a Mexican eyewear company, before presenting it to an international panel of judges.

In a highly competitive international field, our team advanced to the finals and finished the competition in third place overall. Beyond the result, the week offered valuable opportunities for academic exchange, teamwork under pressure, and intercultural learning. Cultural highlights such as a city tour, Lucha Libre, and a visit to the pyramids made the experience even more memorable.
