Invest in the future of AI talent.
CBS AI Academy sits at the intersection of academia and the real world. We bridge the gap between what students can build and what organisations actually need — and we do it with partners who care about the outcome.
Why Partner With Us?
The Academy connects forward-thinking organisations with a curated group of CBS students who are actively building, not just talking about AI. What partners get out of this is something genuinely hard to find elsewhere: a real read on how this cohort frames business problems, builds under constraints, and thinks about trade-offs.
Across four workshops and a final competition, students work on a shared real-world case — not slide decks about AI, but working MVPs built from scratch. That's a different conversation with student talent, and a better signal than a CV.
And the reach goes beyond the 60 Academy participants. The Final at Ovnhallen is open to a broader CBS audience — students who are actively thinking about where they want to work next and want to see what's being built.
Partnership Tiers
Choose the level of involvement that fits your organization.
Send a few company representatives to join workshop sessions as mentors. Walk around to groups, engage with how they're approaching the case, and help guide MVP development. Low time commitment — one or two sessions — but a meaningful touchpoint with students while they're actually building.
Co-host or sponsor one of our workshops — covering topics from solution architecture and AI implementation to workflow design, governance, and responsible deployment. Involvement can mean contributing a speaker on one of the Academy themes, providing a venue, or supporting the session in another meaningful way. Includes a jury seat at the Final at Ovnhallen.
A branded presence at Ovnhallen on May 6 — a stand or booth where you engage with students, speakers, and other partners throughout the event. Visibility in the opening and closing, informal conversations, and a natural employer branding touchpoint with students making career decisions.
Full case ownership — your real business problem becomes the brief that 60 students work on for four weeks. You help shape the challenge, engage with teams across the program, join the jury, and get first access to the strongest solutions and the people behind them.
