Partnership Programme for long-term collaboration

Aalto University’s School of Business has its own Partnership Programme to build and maintain close, long-term relations with companies. The programme is the only one of its kind in Finnish universities, and also connects the Premium Partners with the other Schools and fields at Aalto University.

The Partnership Programme offers a clear model and structure for co-operation, which facilitates in developing the relations towards long-term strategic partnerships.

Companies enter into a 2 to 3-year partnership agreement with the School of Business. The parties determine the focus of the co-operation together. There are currently 10 Premium Partners: ABB, Alma Media, Deloitte, EY, Hilti, K Group, KPMG, Nordea, OP Pohjola and PwC.

The Partnership Programme offers Premium Partners an excellent opportunity to build, develop and maintain collaboration with our internationally recognized School of Business.
