📌About the Challenge
The Odoo Business Challenge 2026 is an elite, one-day immersive corporate tournament engineered specifically to spot high-potential consulting and sales talent. Operating under the directive “Turn one day into a career,” this event completely bypasses standard multi-tiered aptitude tests or traditional resume screening filters.
Instead, participants are dropped directly into live, practical management simulations where they act as functional business analysts. Candidates must analyze operational bottlenecks, mapping traditional retail or corporate struggles into agile enterprise resource planning (ERP) system workflows.
