The team’s solution focuses on:

• Optimizing a contact strategy.

The International Innovation Challenge focuses on customer analytics, and seven participating companies - Scotiabank, RBC Royal Bank, TD Canada Trust, Bank of Montreal, Spirit of Math, Loblaw, and Canadian Tire - have provided contestants with business problems and data. On November 25, the finalists will present their business solutions to the jury and a winner will be selected.
