Business Outreach
Business Delegations
CU CIBER leads business delegations to regions with emerging markets. Business and government leaders meet with their professional counterparts from foreign countries to develop avenues of cooperation and discuss potential economic development initiatives.
Conference on World Affairs
The University of Colorado’s Conference on World Affairs was founded in 1948, originally a forum on international affairs. Every year in April approximately 100 academic and business participants representing a wide range of backgrounds gather in Boulder, Colorado for over 200 academic and cross-disciplinary sessions.
Global Executive Forum
A cornerstone of the Colorado CIBER is its Global Executive Forum. A Global Advisory Board was established in 1994 to bring together senior executives who are highly involved in global business. Members with US backgrounds are joined by members from different parts of the world, providing insights into whether key business issues change across industries, national boundaries and cultures, and how these issues impact company strategies and operations. Twice annually, Global Advisory Board Members attend the Global Executive Forums. Each Forum agenda is based on a global business theme as well as a geopolitical theme. Following each meeting, the sessions are summarized in a Global Executive Forum Report and disseminated to colleges of business across the nation.
University of Ulster
The University of Ulster conferred an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws on James M. Lyons, senior partner in the law firm Rothgerber Johnson & Lyons. CU CIBER co-sponsored this program which was held on the University of Colorado Denver campus. Dr. Lyons received this degree for his efforts on behalf of Northern Ireland in his role as Special Advisor to the President of the United States and Secretary of State for economic initiatives in Northern Ireland. In this State Department position, Dr. Lyons made more than 50 trips to Northern Ireland and coordinated the programs and policies of the agencies of the United States government which were involved in the Administration’s commitment to peace and economic development in Northern Ireland.
