For partners
Build hands-on formats with students: workshops, case studies, talks, and events. Connect early with emerging talent — and support learning by doing on campus.
Partnership opportunities
Multiple ways to collaborate with our student community — depending on your goals, time, and budget.
🚀 Workshop + Case Study
A high-impact combination of an interactive workshop and a real case study: students get to know how you work, apply methods hands-on, and develop a team solution—ending with a final pitch in front of your jury.
Benefits:
- Deeper engagement & more impact – multi-day case work creates lasting focus on your company and topic
- Robust talent assessment – observe problem-solving, teamwork, and presentation skills in realistic settings
- Direct peer-level exchange – multiple touchpoints (workshop, feedback, networking) instead of a one-off interaction
- Substantive employer branding – position yourself as a hands-on, future-oriented employer
🎯 Co-create a Workshop
Co-design and host a practical, hands-on workshop with us—e.g., on project work, data analysis, storytelling, go-to-market, or pricing fundamentals.
Benefits:
- Visibility with motivated students – real interaction instead of logo-only presence
- Direct talent contact – exercises, group work, and Q&A make potential visible
- Scalable impact beyond the session – materials & learnings continue to circulate in the community
📊 Case Study / Challenge
Bring a real business question (e.g., market, pricing, process, digitalization). We turn it into a structured challenge with a final pitch.
Benefits:
- Fresh outside-in perspective – new impulses for a clearly defined question
- Robust talent assessment – experience structured thinking, collaboration, and pitch quality live
- Tangible outcomes & next steps – options, hypotheses, and actionable starting points
🏆 Event Partnership
Support networking events or learning formats and be visible where talent comes together—on campus and in the region.
Benefits:
- Presence with a relevant target group – visibility in the right environment
- Recognition across communications & materials – branding in event assets and announcements
- Peer-level networking – connect with students, alumni, and partner organizations
🎤 Speaker Event
An evening expert talk with Q&A: share insights into projects, strategies, or career paths—followed by casual networking.
Benefits:
- Thought leadership made visible – position yourself as a voice in your field
- Direct exchange through Q&A – real dialogue and proximity to the audience
- Networking in a relaxed setting – personal conversations beyond a quick touchpoint
🍽️ Career Dinner
An exclusive dinner with a selected group of students. Table rotation between courses enables maximum exchange and many personal conversations.
Benefits:
- High-quality talent access in a small setting – targeted conversations, low scatter
- Maximum exchange via table rotation – many meaningful interactions in a short time
- Deeper relationship building – peer-level dialogue that sticks
🏢 Office Visit
A visit to your office with expert talks, team insights, and on-site exchange. Students experience your work environment first-hand.
Benefits:
- Authentic culture & day-to-day insights – a real picture instead of a polished pitch
- Direct contact with your team – conversations, questions, and immediate connection
- Employer branding with substance – long-term interest through a real experience
