SESSION OVERVIEW

Strategic Collaboration as a Growth Strategy for Higher Education

As traditional funding models evolve, partnerships are emerging as a practical growth approach for universities. In this session, we’ll look at how institutions are teaming up with industry, technology providers, edtech companies and global academic networks to develop new offerings. By combining expertise in content, platforms, credentials and outreach, these collaborations can broaden access, open up additional markets and deliver shared benefits. Participants will hear about a variety of partnership models, learn key governance considerations and discuss how strategic alliances can support institutional stability, relevance and sustainable growth
