| A student challenge designed to stretch your limits | KPMG Ideation Challenge Now is the chance for you to generate a new idea that could change the world using the power of your business, technology, and data and analytics knowledge. Students that compete in KIC will have the opportunity to go head-to-head against some of the brightest students across the country to solve for a challenge problem, create a prototype of a new idea and then pitch it to business leaders. If successful, you’ll get the opportunity to compete in the live finals at KPMG Lakehouse and the winners will have the chance to attend our Global Advantage program this summer in Copenhagen.
