Who we are

Summit was founded by students who believe the best way to learn business is to solve real industry challenges. We partner with leading firms across the Lower Mainland to run a competition that rewards original thinking instead of memorized slide decks.

From case development to our mentor lineup, we build everything to challenge high school participants and connect them directly with professionals already working in the field.
