Conexus Indiana, the state’s advanced manufacturing and logistics industry initiative, has just completed its sixth annual National Collegiate Case Competition. Students from Indiana University, Purdue University and Purdue Polytechnic Institute-Anderson took home top prizes among 24 teams of competitors.

The teams were judged by a panel of industry experts.
