Vacation Scheme Ready | Mastering the commercial thinking firms expect

Commercial awareness is about more than following the news. It means understanding what a client wants to achieve and helping them get there. In this interactive session, you’ll play a trainee advising FlashTrade, a fictional fintech company that wants to expand its AI-powered cryptocurrency investment app across Europe. You’ll weigh the client’s growth ambitions against the regulatory, consumer protection and reputational risks, then make a clear recommendation to the board. There’s no single right answer. What matters is a reasoned, practical recommendation that keeps the client’s objectives in focus.
