Selected for the semifinals based on the results of the first competition round (March 2025) and the quality of their case presentation, the team showcased an impressive level of both theoretical knowledge and practical competence.

As part of the semifinal challenge, the team developed a concept for a mobile banking application for teenagers focused on financial literacy, supported by a financial and economic justification for the product’s feasibility. All case studies and the defense of the innovative projects were conducted in English, underscoring the team’s high level of language and professional proficiency. Presentations were evaluated by an international jury composed of representatives from leading universities and business sectors.

The Rákóczi team was ranked among the TOP-10 best teams of the competition, receiving recognition alongside teams from Hungary, Romania, Serbia, and Austria. This is a powerful testament to the global competitiveness of students in the international academic environment.
