CEMS was built on the vision of creating a bridge between the academic and corporate worlds. Since its creation in 1988 CEMS has worked alongside industry representatives and academics in providing expertise, insight and vision for all aspects of programme development, implementation and support. At the outset, there were 9 CEMS Corporate Partners. Today, there are 69. The CEMS Corporate Partner community consists of a wide range of multinational companies with an excellent reputation both on a national and international level and operating in the fields of finance, industry and services and consulting. CEMS Corporate Partners are active contributors to the CEMS network interested in the development of international management education and recruitment. Social Partners have been an integral part of CEMS since late-2010 and are here to make an impact on the curriculum, the alliance and the thinking of the next generation of business leaders. Social Partners have an international scope and an interest in positively influencing business schools and students.
For a complete list of CEMS Corporate and Social Partners and for additional information on these companies, please see www.cems.org/corporate-partners.
The Student Board is the voice of the CEMS students within the CEMS global alliance. The Student Board consists of one representative from each of the member schools and manages its projects, targeted at enhancing the CEMS experience for the students, by
In carrying out the above, in an ethical and socially responsible way, the Student Board acts as the official voice of CEMS students, representing their interests before the Academic, Corporate and Administrative stakeholders of the CEMS Alliance. The Student Board is organised in project teams & functions and is headed by the executive team.

The CEMS Club St.Gallen is a team of dedicated CEMS students who strive to form and maintain a strong relationship between all stakeholders involved in the programme. We are fascinated by the idea of a truly international education, we cherish working in multinational teams and we highly appreciate the possibility to make friends all over the world from all over the world. Driven by this spirit, we engage current and former CEMS students to be part of the community and enrich the experience for everybody involved.
The CEMS Club facilitates the contact between CEMS students of the University of St.Gallen and CEMS students from our partner universities. We also build bridges to the CEMS Corporate Partners and the CEMS Alumni. We achieve this by providing various formal and informal events throughout the semester ranging from weekend trips for students to dinners with Corporate Partners.

There are many reasons to join the CEMS programme. One of the main advantages is the lifelong network to create and maintain friendly and professional long lasting contacts with over 15'000 CEMS Alumni worldwide.
Today, in Switzerland, we are an active community of about 790 Alumni which is small enough for personal networking and truly diverse in terms of nationalities and industry representation. We organise exciting events on a monthly basis such as conferences on current topics, lunches, after work drinks in Zurich and Geneva, cultural events (concerts/opera) and outdoor sport activities enjoying Swiss nature in summer as well as in winter time. We also interact frequently with the current CEMS students through joint social events, a mentoring program and a career panel taking place every semester to showcase life and career after the official CEMS year.
Join CEMS – and join the CEMS Alumni Association in Switzerland and worldwide!
