The Spanish Exporters and Investors Club and IE University have signed a collaboration agreement to promote the internationalization of Spanish companies.
Under the agreement, the two institutions will cooperate in the area of training leaders, managers and professionals to provide them with the knowledge and skills to respond to the new scenarios and challenges posed by international business today.
The two institutions will also jointly develop educational projects and activities, including courses, technical visits and international seminars and colloquiums, among others. The agreement also provides for the hosting of volunteers and interns, consulting studies with students, documentation and case studies, as well as the publication of joint editions.
With this agreement, signed last Tuesday in Madrid by the President of the Exporters and Investors Club, Antonio Bonet, and the Dean of IE School of Global & Public Affairs, Susana Malcorra, both institutions will also contribute to strengthening stable links between the academic world and internationally active companies.
“The complexity that underlies international markets, conditioned by diverse aspects, requires highly trained professionals to respond to new challenges,” said Antonio Bonet. “For this reason, being able to collaborate from the Exporters Club with an institution of national and international prestige such as IE University is an extraordinary opportunity that will benefit the students themselves and the companies,” he added.
“At IE University we have understood the importance of taking a holistic view of international trade, recognizing its impact on the economy and the development of countries, but, above all, incorporating the perspective of small and medium-sized enterprises in global value chains,” said Susana Malcorra.
