Are you an undergraduate at an Australian university filled with bright ideas?
Show Microsoft the quality of your business skills and you could be the Microsoft Protégé for 2016.
About the competition
Protégé is an exciting initiative from Microsoft Australia, for all undergraduate students, particularly those with a passion for business.
It's a chance to sink your teeth into a real-life business challenge and gain those crucial corporate connections and experiences that will give you an edge in your business career and make your CV stand out.
During the competition you'll be able to turn theory into practice, develop your presentation skills and learn from valuable feedback from industry executives. Make it to the end and you’ll be flown to Sydney to take part in workshops with Microsoft professionals and to compete in the Protégé Grand Final. On top of this "money can’t buy" experience, you could win the latest Microsoft technology in prizes.
The case study
Microsoft has a bold ambition to create more personal and intelligent computing experiences that empower billions of people to achieve more. A key target of this ambition is to have 1 billion active Windows 10 devices by 2018, with a substantial contributor being its mobile platform and Lumia devices. Recently this motion has been propelled by the announcement of Microsoft's flagship Lumia devices, launching with Windows 10 as the first of its kind to market.
The challenge: How would you propose over the next 12 months to increase the market share of Lumia devices in Australia?
