Tilburg University, TiasNimbas Business School and Triple Value Strategy Consulting have decided to join forces to set up a Benelux BOP Learning Lab. The learning lab will be a part of the global BOP Learning Lab Network created by Stuart Hart, who will be actively involved in this initiative. The core objective of the BOP Learning Lab is to be a vibrant platform for strategic dialogue, academic research and executive education on strategic BOP challenges. Building on their respective networks in this area the Learning Lab partners are looking forward to co-operate with a selective group of key partners, notably international companies, NGOs, governmental bodies and research institutes with complementary capabilities. The official launch of the Learning Lab will be celebrated with a BOP conference. More details about the exact date and program will follow.
