Tony's Business Course Paris 2025

Step into the world of top-tier strategy consulting during one of the most exciting and impactful student events of the year: Tony’s Business Course in Paris organized by the Amsterdam Office. From November 18 to 21, 2025, you’ll get the chance to truly experience what it means to work as a consultant at BCG and how you can be a force for good while doing it.

Over the course of four days, you’ll work closely with a group of ambitious students and experienced BCG consultants from the Amsterdam office on a real-life social impact case in collaboration with Tony’s Chocolonely. This isn’t just a simulation. It’s a real business challenge with real implications. One where your ideas and strategic thinking can drive meaningful change.

Make Real Impact with Real Clients

As a participant, you’ll dive deep into a complex problem facing our client. By applying a combination of quantitative analysis, qualitative reasoning, and structured problem-solving, you’ll develop a tailored strategy that tackles the client’s challenges head-on. Throughout the case, you’ll be supported and coached by BCG consultants who will guide you through every step; challenging you, inspiring you, and helping you grow as a future leader.

And yes, it all happens in Paris! Between case work and workshops, you’ll also have plenty of time to connect with your team, explore the city, and get a real taste of BCG culture in an informal and international setting.
