Details

To be held Nov. 14, 2025, at Microsoft’s NYC Office, the Big Red Tech Case Off introduces the very first Cornell MBA High Tech Club’s case competition — a high-energy challenge where Johnson students tackle real-world technology and innovation problems.

Participants will compete in teams to craft bold solutions to pressing challenges facing the tech industry today. The competition is designed to test your strategic thinking, creativity, and ability to connect business insight with technology. A panel of judges composed of tech alumni, industry professionals, and Johnson faculty will evaluate submissions and presentations, selecting the team that best embodies innovation and impact.

This inaugural event combines the excitement of a hackathon, the energy of pitch presentation, with the rigor of a strategy competition. Finalists will present their ideas live at Microsoft’s NYC office, gaining exposure to company alumni and an opportunity to make their mark on HTC history.

SCHEDULE
October 20 - 27: Team Form Submission Period (link below)

**Finalists: Student Council will be providing Title-Town funding to help partially offset travel costs associated with the event.
