The Best Team Selection Process

A total of 6,165 students from 162 universities in 53 countries by country of study and 140 countries by country of origin on six continents participated in the project this semester.
They worked in 1,279 global virtual teams, each team comprised of about 6 team members, each from a different country.

A total of 1,273 reports were submitted in the 2025-2 round of the X-Culture competition.

The reports were sent for evaluation to a large group of International Business experts, mainly International Business professors and coaches from around the world
(191 people from 40 countries).

Each report was independently evaluated by 3 to 7 experts along multiple dimensions, such as report creativity, clarity, the viability of the ideas, style, and evaluation of each report section.
The experts also provided qualitative feedback.

Based on the expert evaluations, almost 100 teams received nearly perfect evaluations.

Next, a group of X-Culture coaches evaluated the best reports one more time, selecting 10 finalists for each client company, and then selecting the best one in each group.

In a few cases, we had a tie, thus two best teams were Winners in some groups.

Accordingly, the pool contains 80 finalists this semester, and 11 teams selected as BEST TEAMS/WINNERS.

We do not differentiate between age/experience cohorts (teen track, undergraduate, Master’s, professionals): all teams are evaluated equally.

The complete list is provided below.

All members of Best Teams will receive Best Team certificates and be invited to the upcoming X-Culture Symposia and X-Culture Coaching Program.
