The contest is divided into two phases:

The students, organized in groups of 3-4, will develop the analysis and propose a business plan regarding a business case. Each group presents the solution of the case to a commission composed of university professors and Fater managers. Each presentation session, in addition to being an important training moment, leads to the selection of a team that enters the final phase of the contest.
