What are Business Streams?
A brand-new competition event at Prosper 2025, Business Streams are made possible through our collaboration with the Ivey Business School. This initiative combines the excitement of tackling real-world case studies with a preview of university-level learning. Attendees will have the opportunity to select 1 of 6 Business Streams, allowing them to dive deeper into the fundamentals of their chosen field while engaging in the renowned Ivey Case Method through a relevant case study.
​
Designed to reflect the diversity of interests among our attendees — similar to selecting a major or concentration in university — Business Streams encourage active participation and critical thinking. Instead of requiring your entire team to participate in the same business stream, attendees will sign up for Business Streams individually.
Participants must submit an executive-summary-style case write up ("The Deliverable") that will factor into their overall Finalist Qualification Score (FQS). Each Business Stream will also award 3 Outstanding Participation Awards for attendees who have demonstrated exemplary participation throughout the session.
