This strategic partnership will create expanded opportunities for cross-sector learning and collaboration among top U.S. executives committed to strengthening education through innovative public-private and business-higher education partnerships.

P3·EDU, which takes place Nov. 3 – 5, is an exclusive event for senior university and industry leaders to share best practices around innovation and public-private partnerships in higher education. Through curated discussions with university presidents, provosts, CFOs, policymakers, and corporate innovators, P3·EDU explores how strategic collaboration can unlock institutional transformation, drive student success, and enhance institutional sustainability.

BHEF, the nation’s leading network of corporate and college leaders dedicated to addressing U.S. workforce challenges through American higher education institutions, will host its Fall 2025 Convening November 5 and 6. The convening will offer a deeper dive into how business-higher education partnerships can fully activate long-term strategies for talent development, regional economic growth, and workforce innovation in the era of AI, quantum, and cybersecurity skills demands. 

Georgia Tech, as host institution for both events, plays a pivotal role in facilitating this collaboration. Under President Ángel Cabrera's leadership, Georgia Tech has emphasized the importance of partnerships in advancing technology and improving the human condition. 

“At Georgia Tech, we’re committed to innovating to expand access to more students and are proud to be the fastest-growing university in the nation," said President Ángel Cabrera. "We are honored to host both the Business-Higher Education Forum and P3·EDU for a joint convening that brings together two influential networks for a full week of dialogue on issues critical to talent development, innovation, and economic competitiveness. By uniting academic and industry leaders, we can foster solutions that not only meet workforce needs but also demonstrate how higher education can deliver real value — measured by opportunity, innovation, and outcomes that matter.”
