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.

The purpose of the partner programme is to build long-term and value-creating relationships between business and BI: 

  • Contribute to companies and organisations getting resourceful, knowledgeable and relevant candidates from BI after completing their studies.
  • Add value to companies and organisations by offering the best of innovative, research-based knowledge and to help companies and organisations take a stronger role in the development of a knowledge-based and sustainable Norway.
  • Make companies and organisations visible to the students at BI so that they make safe and good choices regarding future employers and career.

"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."

Chair, Tom Wilhelmsen's Foundation

We build partnerships through

  • Research-based, relevant and interdisciplinary knowledge and competence development
  • Project-based research collaboration
  • Collaboration in various arenas and events at and outside BI


Your company can foster knowledge exchange, innovation and development through research collaborations, internships, guest lectures, and workshops. By participating in research projects, you can provide valuable insights, resources and data to BI's researchers.

Similarly, offering internships to BI students enables them to gain invaluable work experience and contacts, while your company benefits from newly-graduated and highly motivated talent.

Offering guest lectures or workshops is also a great way to share knowledge and experience, as well as providing an opportunity for knowledge transfer and inspiration to the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs. This type of collaboration will not only contribute to educational and research initiatives, but also develop your own competence and ability to innovate.
