A huge congratulations to our incredible DBS MBA students who competed in the MBAAI National Strategy Competition 2025, hosted by KPMG Ireland at their state-of-the-art Platform X Headquarters in Dublin.

While Team DBS didn’t bring home the trophy this year, our students showcased remarkable courage, strategic thinking, and teamwork throughout the competition. Their meticulous planning, disciplined approach, and innovative problem-solving highlighted the very best of what the DBS MBA community represents. A special thanks to the MBA PLM, Ray Whelan for preparing our students for this year’s competition.

The competition proved once again as an invaluable learning experience, strengthening bonds between teammates and offering real-world insights into the complexities of strategic decision-making. We’re incredibly proud of their dedication and resilience, and we’re already looking forward to coming back stronger next year!
