Eager to strengthen links between the academic and business worlds, the FGV/EBAPE set up the Business Forum through Its Master’s Degree in Business Administration, for hosting discussions with executives heading up major corporations, exploring cutting-edge aspects of business management.

Supported by input from renowned administrators, the Business Forum showcases the academic and professional contributions to Program students.

In addition to the Strategic Leadership Lecture Cycle hosted in 2013 and 2014 under a partnership with FGV Energia, another activity that has arisen from this initiative is the Asset Management: Concepts and Practices course taught in the fourth semester.
