ATOM x AIS Analytics Challenge
The Future of Data Analytics makes the impossible possible!
Data analytics is expected to radically change the way we live and do business, as companies seek to build new market insights that generate value.
FIU’s Annual Analytics Challenge aims to develop and refine the data analytics and research skills of our FIU Business students as they are challenged to develop cutting-edge solutions to real-world business problems. Challenge winners receive tuition scholarships and are sponsored to compete at the National AIS Analytics Challenge!
A set of prompts are offered to student competitors, who share the major findings of their research and analysis on their selected topic, presented to a panel of judges to critique and choose finalists from.
The finalists will be notified and asked to present their findings at the ATOM x AIS Analytics Challenge. The judges will then make their decisions and announce the winners. First-place will be sponsored to represent FIU Business at the AIS National Analytics Challenge!
