UPEI hosted the 2019 Network of International Business Schools (NIBS) Worldwide Case Competition in February 2019. UPEI hosted the top sixteen which were chosen from a qualifying round in November of 2018. The student teams were brought together to compete in a number of case studies over the course of the week. The teams are presented with the case study and then must present their findings to a panel of judges within hours of first seeing the case.

Charlottetown became only the second city in Atlantic Canada to host a NIBS championship round. St. John’s, Newfoundland has hosted 3 times in the 25 year history of the event. NIBS provides unique learning opportunities for thousands of students from around the globe each year.
