CORENET GLOBAL ACADEMIC CHALLENGE

Application Deadline: 13 September, 2024

LOCATION: USA

CoreNet global invite students from around the world to think creatively about a problem facing real estate professionals for renowned companies like Google, Duke Energy, AstraZeneca, Whirlpool, and many others.

ELIGIBILITY:

Student teams from universities and academic institutions in Africa, Europe, and the Americas are invited to compete in an academic challenge wherein students are asked to play the role of an internal corporate real estate team to address a real-world issue facing companies around the globe

The competition is open to all students (undergraduate/graduate, full-time/part-time) who are currently registered at a recognized university. All past Academic Challenge presentations are viewable via the Source.

There is no registration fee.

In consultation with colleagues in IT and Legal, develop an enterprise-level strategy for the corporate real estate portfolio that takes maximum advantage of emerging AI technologies while minimizing associated risks.

What should corporate real estate expect from artificial intelligence? No one wants to be left behind because they didn’t embrace technology – but as organizations feel pressure, they will be forced to forge a new direction. To channel that energy the right way though, the most effective corporate real estate teams must have a clear purpose – and while the methods that we use to create that new direction will be highly tech-augmented, the purpose of why we’re doing it must remain deeply rooted in our humanity.

BENEFIT:

Gain international experience. Connect with experts. Win US $5,000 for your team.
