MPPM Policy Case Competition 2025: Future Leaders Tackle Real-World Challenges

Our Annual MPPM Policy Case Competition was successfully held on 8th November 2025. It brought together MPPM students to discuss and address issues surrounding policy areas in transportation, healthcare, and education. The students were given the unique opportunity to showcase their skills, creativity, and passion.

The competition consisted of multiple rounds; the qualifier was the poster round, from which three teams were selected to advance to the semi-finals. In the semi-final round, the teams were required to deliver a presentation and discuss policy solutions. As for the finals, an exciting and intensive debate was held between the top two teams. Throughout the Competition, participants had the opportunity to address real-life public policy problems through case studies, providing students with a platform to challenge themselves and enhance their skills.

The students presented the policy issues from different perspectives, demonstrating the vast diversity of the students in the programme, and allowing for rich and fruitful discussions. The competition inspired the students to work together with a collective spirit to find a solution to the social problems presented to them. The participants presented creative and plausible solutions to the pressing challenges.

The event successfully attracted ten teams, showcasing our students' engagement and the remarkable quality of their work. As for the quality of work, it was remarkable. At the end of the day, *Team Clause-eaters secured 1st place, followed by Policy Insight Alliance in 2nd and DNA in 3rd. The Best Speakers were Ms. Leung Shuk Wun and Ms. Zhuang Kunquan.

All in all, the competition allowed the students to meet like-minded individuals and expand their network. The success of the competition is a testament to the exceptional skills of our students.
