PASHA Bank - a Primary Sponsor of the Best Business Case Competition

The Best Business Case Competition organized annually by the US-Educated Azerbaijani Alumni Association was over last weekend.

The Best Business Case Competition is a competition of students participated by teams from major universities of Azerbaijan. Within the framework of this competition the students apply their knowledge acquired at universities to solve real business problems. The competition held since 2000 enables the talented young people to demonstrate their potential, to develop their analytical skills and gain practical knowledge and competences. PASHA Bank - one of the leading banks of Azerbaijan- acted as a primary sponsor of this event.

As PASHA Bank CEO Farid Akhundov noted in his speech at the event: "Conducting competitions that are attended by the most talented students of the country should be just welcomed". "We are sure that such trainings will help today's active and successful young people to become tomorrow not only highly professional specialists in their fields but a driving force of socio-economic development of our country as well", said F. Akhundov.

It should be noted that under its corporate Social Responsibility Program PASHA Bank also cooperates with the Azerbaijan Student Youth Organizations' Union, British Council, Junior Achievement Azerbaijan and other structures. As a part of joint projects focused on motivating talented and social- minded students of local higher education institutions, PASHA Bank pays monthly scholarships to competition winners; sends them to study and attend training courses in Great Britain; sponsors their trainings thus contributing into creation of a strong human capital and personnel reserve for private and public sectors.
