INSEAD Scholarship for Norwegian Residents
The Boston Consulting Group and Schibsted Media Group is generously supporting a scholarship for Norwegian residents admitted to INSEAD. We see that financial support is of significant importance when deciding to invest in an MBA from INSEAD. In addition we have established a foundation (stiftelse) to further increase financing of studies at INSEAD for Norwegian residents, or people with relevant connection to Norway. The foundation is INSEAD Opportunities Foundation Norway and has submitted an application to the Norwegian authorities to be achieve tax deduction for donors. Further information about the foundation will be shared when the application is processed.
INSEAD Entrepreneurship Forum in Madrid
The INSEAD Entrepreneurship Forum (IEF) 2019 is held in Madrid on September 20-21 this year with the theme "Excellent Execution 2: Deeper". The agenda will consist of top entrepreneurial speakers from the INSEAD world as well as a venture pitch contest. More information and sign-up here.
We hope to see you at our INSEAD events this fall! Before that, we wish you all a fantastic summer!
