The Pühringer Foundations are supporting ESMT Berlin in the areas of Endowment Management and Entrepreneurial Finance in four projects.
First, the business school will receive 10 million EUR as capital stock, to be invested professionally by two portfolio managers of the new Endowment Management Program.
Second, two academic chairs in the areas of Endowment Management and Entrepreneurial Finance will be founded. These chairs reinforce European competitiveness as one of the main competence areas at ESMT.
Third, in cooperation with ESMT, the foundations are fostering startups with new co-working offices in Berlin-Schöneberg. The 3500-square-meter space will be opened soon in a site provided by the Pühringer Group. The company, run by two ESMT full-time MBA alumni together with a third managing director, provides an inspiring working environment for entrepreneurs.
Fourth, a Portfolio Management Program for students is planned. This module, to be established by ESMT, offers students a hands-on supplementary learning experience in the field of capital market theory. For this purpose, the Pühringer Foundations are providing 1 million EUR for each of three student teams. The program provides an opportunity for students to transfer existing theoretical knowledge and latest insights from applied research into the field of asset management.
“Since the foundation of ESMT Berlin, European competitiveness has been a key aspect of our research,” says Jörg Rocholl, president of the international business school. “The collaboration with the Pühringer Foundations emphasizes the significance of this area and allows us to intensifying our research.”
