The Amazing Case – Enactus SFU

The Surrey Board of Trade was pleased to be a sponsor of The Amazing Case, a one-day competition developed by Enactus SFU. The event was also supported by RBC and Coast Capital Savings.

The competition uses classical case elements to challenge critical thinking and analytical skills of high school students. Students work in teams of 4-5 to develop a solution to a real-world problem and present their recommendation to a panel of judges. The allday event focused on social entrepreneurship and pushed teams of high school students to create and explore solutions for issues within our community, specifically tackling the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Enactus, and the Surrey Board of Trade, acknowledges that there are no boundaries for students who want to be entrepreneurs, meet new people, and share their passions while making a difference in the community. Currently, there are 66,500 students in 1,600 teams across 36 countries around the world.

At Enactus SFU, they seek issues within our community and what others perceive as challenges, they see as opportunities to innovate. With more than 120 active members running 9 sustainable programs, Enactus SFU continues to grow and expand further into the community each year. In the past 5 years, they have dedicated over 73,000 hours to improve the lives of over 6,600 individuals.
