This year, teams from Monash University, University of Adelaide, Victoria University and the University of Melbourne participated. Each team researched the ASX-listed company, RedHill Education, which operates several specialist businesses in the private tertiary education market. The University of Melbourne team will advance to Asia-Pacific regional finals to be held in Sydney in March 2019.
