Partners for Development Turns 15

Created in 1996 to promote dialogue and collaboration between the university and businesses, the Bocconi Partners for Development Program is turning 15 this year and during the last Development Committee, Bocconi wished to thank the companies that have participated since the beginning.

The program is dedicated to companies and organizations who would like to establish a strategic and operational cooperation with Bocconi. The program's objective is in fact to implement wide-ranging and articulated collaborative relations for processing and carrying out innovative research, projects and services, through opportunities for management from both settings to get together (during Development Committee meetings) and opportunities for company management and Bocconi staff and faculty to work together. Particular attention is given to services aimed at students.

The program has 15 partners and through presentation of a certificate during the last Development Committee, Bocconi wished to recognize the constant support to the University's growth given by the partners involved since the beginning of the program: Gruppo Generali, JP Morgan, Assolombarda, Deloitte & Touche, Indesit Company, Goldman Sachs, PwC. Throughout the years, the following companies have also joined: Accenture, Allianz RAS, Deutsche Bank, IBM Italia, Ilva, L'Oréal, RCS Mediagroup and UBI Banca.
