Let your students demonstrate their business skills, competing against student teams from around the world in Hubro Championship - Hubro Education’s global business simulation competition. They will use their skills in topics including management, finance, marketing and operations, and earn a place on our wall of fame!
This is Hubro Championship
Hubro Championship is a competition in business skills, but also teamwork and critical thinking - the skills the leaders of tomorrow require. Teams from schools all around the world compete to see who can run the most successful company in Hubro’s simulations. Each team can have up to 3 students.
There are two competitions in parallel, where teams may compete in one or both competitions:
There are five qualifying rounds throughout the year (see schedule below), where the winning team from each round is qualified to the final.
One qualifying round is a simulation of 9 quarters, played over two weeks (one quarter per 24 hours on working days). Each quarter will take a maximum of 25 minutes. The team with the highest equity at the end of the last quarter wins. Each simulation starts on a Monday at midday CET.
Why should you join the Championship?
- Curriculum relevant for business and marketing
- Engage your students in a global simulation competition
- Promote collaboration and teamwork, and work towards a common goal
- Experience game based learning for increased learning outcome
New rules in 2020
Schools in more than 20 countries on 5 continents use Hubro’s simulations in their teaching. As a result we have completely changed the rules of the Hubro Championship, and have made it an online competition that schools anywhere in the world can join.
Only one finalist per school
Only one team from each school may qualify for the final. If several teams from the same school win different rounds, then it is the team with the most points that qualifies; the other team must give its place to the next in line.
Tickets belong to the team
If a team that was qualified cannot participate in the final, they forfeit their place. The place is then given to the next on the list from their qualifying round.
Diploma
All participants get a diploma showing their participation in the competition. The finalists get a special diploma stating their place in the competition.
Join the Championship!
The winner of each of the qualification rounds will win a place in the final taking place in March 2021. Any school can sign up student teams to the qualifying rounds. It’s completely free to participate in the competition.
Hubro Business and Hubro Marketing will each have a final. The 5 qualification winners will go head to head, resulting in one Hubro Champion for the Business Simulation, and one for the Marketing Simulation.
Only teachers can sign up through the form - on behalf of the students
You, or any business teacher in your department can sign up teams to represent your school. After that, you’ll get a test simulation so your students can practice before the competition starts. You as the teacher will also be invited to a webinar focused on how you can coach your students to do the best they can in the competition.

History
Hubro Championship started back in 2017, as an initiative to engage schools working with Hubro across Norway to compete against each other in a grand championship. High Schools from all over Norway qualified, and traveled to Oslo for the finals. In Oslo they competed in a heated final against other High School students for the titles of Hubro Business and Marketing champion.
For the Hubro Championship 2021, we’re going digital. We want to invite high schools from all over the globe to compete against each other for the title of Global Hubro Champion. Could it be your school?
We’ll see you online, for the Hubro Championship 2021!
