Corporate Partnerships

Businesses, industries, and their professional associations support us primarily because they endorse our mission statement. Also, they value our publications and are keen on consulting them to make informed decisions.

As all our Partners, they recognize our independence and agree to have no leverage on the content of our Digests or the decisions of our boards.

Financial Contribution

Three forms of Funding Partnerships are proposed:

Limited Partnership: annual contribution of 10 000€ (SMEs only),
Active Partnership: annual contribution of 25 000€, and
Full Partnership: annual contribution of 50 000€.

To maintain our independence, we have set some funding rules, which notably stipulate that since 2006, the total income from Corporate Partners should not exceed 50% of our annual income.
