Corporate and External Relations

Do you want to strengthen your company's relationship with BI's students and academic forces? Our partner programme builds a bridge between BI and the business community.

Through collaboration, we aim to build long-term, value-creating relationships with businesses, foundations, and public sector institutions.

Together, we can strengthen the development of a sustainable and knowledge-based Norway. Increased relevance also ensures that our students graduate with skills that match the needs of society.

"Through our long-term collaboration with BI Norwegian Business School, we aim to promote and emphasise the incredible value the maritime industry creates for society. We are proud supporters of the BI Center for Ocean Business. We believe that the expertise we have through 160 years of business, combined with the scientific capacity at BI, contributes to progress in the maritime industry and the great value this creates."
