									<div class="section__headline"><p><span class="headline__text"><strong>Our Case Crunch competition returns!</strong></span><br>In this 2026 edition, you’ll work with how complexity of price formation is shaped by uncertainty, system constraints, and constantly changing dynamics.<br>At InCommodities, we rethink and challenge the status quo through data, technology, and deep market understanding – and our Case Crunch is built on that exact mindset.</p>
<p><strong>Are you up for the challenge?</strong><br>This will be like stepping into real trading workflows – not a textbook case.<br>Over <span class="red--text"><strong>70 hours</strong></span>, you’ll take on the role of an analyst at InCommodities and work on a data-intensive case focused on machine learning-based forecasting of European electricity spot prices.<br>This is an end-to-end challenge that mirrors how trading decisions are actually made. Forecasts only matter if they can be turned into decisions – and ultimately impact PnL. Trade-offs between accuracy, robustness, and performance are part of the task.<br><span class="red--text">Strong technical skills in coding and modeling will take you far. Strategic thinking about markets, risk, and decision-making will take you further.</span></p><div class="section__headline"><p><span class="headline__text"><strong>Who can join?</strong></span><br><span class="red--text"><strong>For students who want to work with real complexity.</strong></span><br><br>Case Crunch is designed for students striving for strong analytical and technical skills who want to master coding and machine learning in practice.<br>You can participate in teams of two. We cover all public transportation costs to and from the competition locations in Aarhus, Denmark.<br><span class="red--text"><strong>It will be a focused field. A limited number of teams will be selected to enter the competition.</strong></span></p><div class="section__headline"><p><span class="headline__text"><strong>How to apply?</strong></span><br>Submit your contact information, CV and academic transcript (grades) via the event website. Each member must apply individually but note your team member’s full name in the application form. &nbsp;<br>The deadline to apply is <span class="red--text"><strong>March 8, 2026</strong></span><strong> </strong>end of day.<br>We'll choose a limited number of teams to participate in the Case Crunch and confirmations will be send to the selected teams by March 11, 2026, end of day.</p>
<p><span class="red--text"><strong>Get ready to expect the unexpected!</strong></span></p></div></div></div>
