Byblos Bank Armenia will serve as the title sponsor of the CaseKey Business Case Competition in 2024. For the 2nd year in a row, the bank will finance the commitment of the competition to teach practical skills to more than 250 smart young people.

CaseKey 2024 will launch in May. Leading representatives of Armenian business community and consulting firms will be involved in the 6-month educational endeavor.

The bank said that throughout the program, participants will work on three to four micro cases from real businesses in Armenia and will solve the main business case of the year during a gala event in November.

According to Byblos Bank Armenia CEO Hayk Stepanyan, the participants’ interest in acquiring business skills is commendable. “Practical skills are invaluable in terms of applying knowledge in real business situations. We are encouraged by the results of last year’s CaseKey competition, which is why we are teaming up with the initiative again this year. I am glad that there is such a platform providing young people with access to resources that are essential for their growth,” said Hayk Stepanyan.

CaseKey co-founder Arshak Karapetyan believes the cooperation creates many opportunities for young people.

“I extend my heartfelt thanks to Byblos Bank Armenia for their continued support as our title sponsor for the second year in a row. Their support not only encourages us but also motivates us to elevate CaseKey Business Case Competition 2024 to new heights. This partnership is not just about us; it directly benefits our participants, providing them with invaluable opportunities to showcase their talents, hone their skills, and network with industry professionals while still being a student. Together, we are shaping the future of our community,” Arshak Karapetyan noted.

It is noted that this year, the event will be growing not only in quantity, but also in quality. For the first time, the competition will benefit from long-term involvement of international education experts from the United States and Great Britain.

“Throughout CaseKey 2024 the bank will provide full support to the participants and help them develop their practical capabilities,” the news release says.
