Society's history
HEC Business Game (HBG) brings together hundred of students from all over the world and provides a platform for participating companies to meet talent, but also to get new business ideas around concrete issues.
The first edition of the HEC Business Game was held in 2014. Each year, the number of participants and members continues to grow, becoming a major event in the world of business schools. The event has grown considerably over the years, attracting more students each time and gaining international renown.
The association is part of the Alliance of European Business Games.
