Nordic Business and Design Case Competition
A Design Finland 100 Initiative
Design Finland 100 initiates NBDC (Nordic Business and Design Case Competition) throughout 2017-2019, inviting students from all over Southeast Asia to join and showcase their knowledge and design thinking skills.

For the first Nordic Design and Business Case Competition in 2017, the theme of the year was "How can we bring strategic growth for Finnish companies in Southeast Asia"? We involved the top 12 universities across Southeast Asian countries. In addition, we also offered our participants a great opportunity of creating a network of future business contact—not only with fellow participants, and also with the top European industry practitioners and thought leaders.
