SAP served as a co-sponsor of the Notre Dame MBA Tech Innovation Challenge contest this past Friday April 20th. SAP’s David Fowler, Senior Marketing Director - Midwest Market Unit, served as one of the judges for the final presentations. SAP customer and business partner Thomson Reuters served as the primary sponsor and provided the case challenge prompt for the competing teams.
The challenge was a new MBA competition hosted by the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business that focused on innovative tax related business uses for blockchain, the distributed database technology that powers cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Teams from seven business schools shared their ideas and competed for $10,000 in prize money. Business schools represented are listed below:
Each team presented its recommendations to a panel of judges representing Notre Dame faculty, Thomson Reuters and SAP. The judges awarded the top three teams with cash awards at the end of the day.
