Partnership 2012 - NGO+Business

Partnerships are everywhere. Representatives from the profit and non-profit sector are increasingly acknowledging that no single actor can solve all societal problems alone. In other words, partnerships are increasingly seen as a panacea for solving the world’s social, environmental and economic problems, whether we are talking about climate change, hunger, inequality, poverty and pollution.

This is why Copenhagen Business School will host an international partnership conference June 10-12 2012, with participation of some of the world’s leading experts from business, NGOs, and Academia. The objective of the conference is to disseminate knowledge about innovative, cutting-edge partnerships, stimulate match-making between businesses and NGOs, and communicate the newest research findings on international partnerships practices. The conference includes some of the following activities:

• Key note speakers from the business and NGO world.
• Lectures by world’s leading academics in business-NGO partnerships
• Case studies of innovative business-NGO partnerships.
• Panel debates with participation of leading experts on business-NGO partnerships.
• Parallel sessions on specific challenges/opportunities for business-NGO partnerships.
• Presentation of systems, tools, and guidelines for managing business-NGO partnerships.
• Platforms for businesses and NGOs to promote their own partnerships ideas and practices.
