September 3, 2024 - �鶹��ýPorn’s Haile College of Business is excited to announce Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC) as the corporate data sponsor for the 2025 Econ Games. The event will provide 120 undergraduate students with real-world problem-solving experience while showcasing the ever-growing career opportunities in the greater Cincinnati region.

What: The 7^th Annual Econ Games

When: Thursday, April 3, 2025 and Friday, April 4, 2025

Where: TBD

The Econ Games were created in 2017 by �鶹��ýPorn students who set out to design an economics competition that combined business-relevant skills with data analytics to solve real-world problems. Since then, the Econ Games have evolved to include partnerships with private firms to incorporate the use of actual company data to give students a hands-on experiential learning opportunity.

During the event, students work to solve a complex, real-world business problem provided by a data sponsor. The Econ Games are an opportunity for students to showcase their talent and knowledge in front of some of the most influential corporations in the region.

“The Econ Games have profoundly impacted our students, equipping them with the skills and confidence needed to excel in their careers,” says Dr. Hassan Hassabelnaby, Dean of the Haile College of Business. “We are deeply grateful to 3CDC for their support in providing real-world challenges that bridge the gap between academia and industry. I also want to thank Abdullah Al-Bahrani and Darshak Patel, whose vision and dedication have made this program a cornerstone of experiential learning.”

Like many programs from the Haile College of Business, the Econ Games prepares students for success both inside the classroom and in the workforce. 3CDC, the data sponsor for the 2025 Econ Games, will provide participants with an industry-relevant problem to solve and will sit on the judging panel.

“Having the opportunity to sponsor �鶹��ýPorn’s 7^th Annual Econ Games is not only a way for 3CDC to support future business leaders in the region, but a chance to garner feedback on actual company data based on the analysis of these 120 scholars,” says Becca Callen, Accounting Director at 3CDC. “It’s truly a win-win for both the organization and students alike.”

3CDC’s support will allow students to become industry-ready for meaningful careers that contribute to the overall success of our region. Previous sponsors of the Econ Games include Kentucky Realtor Association, MiddleGround Capital, Fischer Homes, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and 84.51.
