In mid-December, the winners of the EFKO Group Special League, which debuted under the auspices of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship, became known. The new project brought together more than 570 students from different regions of the country. The 12 best contestants received valuable prizes and a career opportunity.

They included four representatives of Samara Polytechnic University. Elena Tsareva and Victoria Yakovleva is studying at the Faculty of Food Production, Elena Elistratova is at the Faculty of Chemistry and Technology, and Vladislav Bazaev is at the Institute of Engineering, Economics and Humanities Education.

The students had to solve a case in the field of the fat and oil industry and the agro-industrial complex on the topic "Organization of an innovative business model" proposed by EFKO Group.

Seven teams participating in the final were formed from representatives of different universities, but Elena Tsareva and Victoria Yakovleva managed to get into the same team. As a result, their team called "Team 1" took the first place in the competition. The jury recognized the best strategy for optimizing the production and sale of vegetable milk proposed by the students.

"Our product attracts attention with its concise design, contains already used raw materials with technology improvements. We offered popular tastes and used modern ways to distribute advertising," said Elena Tsareva, captain of champions. – Our team quickly got used to it and started solving the case. We were able to discuss the main issues and choose the main scheme for further work. It was interesting to work with completely different and unique people, each with their own views and suggestions. It was an amazing experience."

The second place was won by the Four in a Boat team, which included Vladislav Bazaev. The young man noted that the guys did not know each other before the competition, but in the process of working on the case, they were able to identify and competently use each other's strengths.

The SLK team, where Elena Elistratova participated, rounded out the top three. She stressed that it was important for their team not only to perform successfully, but also to gain new knowledge in the course of solving cases.

It is worth noting that the captains of all three teams that reached the podium were the students of the Polytechnic University. They managed to perfectly cope with the responsible role and lead their teams to success.

Now the winners of the Special League will be included in the personnel reserve of EFKO Group.
