Why EBEC?

BEST and P&G, it has always been a strong cooperation, built on the values that we share. Both our purposes are to improve the quality of life, and while BEST focuses on education and providing career opportunities for students, P&G improves everyday's life of people around the globe by providing superior quality products.

Also the profile of a BEST member, as described in the BEST spirit, resonates remarkably well with the values and the principles that P&G seeks in their employees. BEST members continue displaying their passion for winning and their willingness to innovate, of which this European Engineering Competition is the greatest example. It shows how a combination of creativity, teamwork, flexibility and leadership can lead to a very innovative result. Combined with profound technical capabilities that all BEST members possess, this is what P&G values the most.
