About Innovate China

Innovate China Global Challenge is a student-run international business competition designed for MBA students from around the world. Its goal is to create a platform for top business minds to interact with each other and create innovative solutions to real life business problems with a China focus.

Being the first student-led international MBA business competition hosted by a Chinese business school, Innovate China aims to draw global attention to the Chinese market and create innovative ideas that can make a difference. We want to give students from around the world to interact with a real Chinese company to discuss a current business challenge.

Look promising! The logo is beautifully designed and slogan handsomely borrowed (from our HEC's "Local Root, Global Reach"...), with the word "Innovate" particularly tempting in a transformational stage of Chinese economy...

But, a question kept echoing in my mind, is MBA an educational system that cultivates innovative minds?
