Business Outreach

Overview

The Columbia CIBER benefits not only from Columbia University’s intellectual capital and world-class faculty, but also from its location in New York City. The Columbia CIBER taps global industry leaders from the local business community to enrich student programming, while giving back to the business community through programs for practitioners.

China: International Business University Seminar

The Columbia CIBER, in partnership with the The Chazen Institute and the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, oversees the China: International Business University Seminar. By invitation only, this interdisciplinary seminar series brings academics, policymakers and practitioners together to discuss, debate and learn from each other about China’s changing business environment. China: International Business was founded in the 1980s by the late N.T. Wang to meet the need for information and analysis of rapid developments in China’s new relations with international business. For information about the seminar, please contact cibs@columbia.edu. To inquire about upcoming seminars, please send an email to cibs@columbia.edu.
