Winning teams take home cash prizes and earn international trips to Europe, the USA, and across Asia, pitching alongside teams from around the region. The competition runs every year in partnership with Khmer Enterprise and Youth 21.

NUMIC teams also enter the CFA Institute Research Challenge every year, the global equity-research competition that puts students in front of professional analysts.
