Association of Friends & Sponsors of HSBA
Support our students and benefit from the network in the Association of Friends and Sponsors!Get inspired by the HSBA spirit!
At HSBA, our students go above and beyond, showing incredible commitment even outside their studies. Whether it’s performing in the HSBA Band, participating in numerous sports events, or contributing to our university podcast â€Âٳٳܻå±ð²Ô³Ù±ð²Ô´Ú³Ü³Ù³Ù±ð°ùâ€, the HSBA spirit is alive in all student-led initiatives, known as committees. Currently, we have 15 active committees that shape and organize the vibrant student life at HSBA through their dedication and enthusiasm.
Support our students!
As a non-profit organization, we are unable to fully fund these initiatives on our own. To bridge this gap, the Association of Friends and Supporters was established. This association brings together our partner companies, faculty members, alumni, business representatives, and individuals interested in HSBA to help sustain and encourage student engagement.
Goals and Activities of the Association

The work of the Association is diverse and comprises all aspects and areas of university life.

Recap of the Annual Reception of the HSBA Friends and Supporters Association
An Evening of Inspiration and Engagement
The 2024 Annual Reception of the HSBA Friends and Supporters Association was a remarkable event filled with inspiring moments and meaningful connections. Highlights included a captivating presentation by Dr. Hans Jaich, who shared insights from his research on how corporate sustainability influences employees' behaviors. His findings, based on a real-world study within his own company, earned him and his family business the prestigious German Tourism Award in 2023. Another standout feature of the evening was the presence of representatives from all HSBA student committees. From the Entrepreneurs Club to the Sustainability Committee and even the HSBA Band, guests had the chance to explore the vibrant student life and engage in conversations with the passionate individuals driving these initiatives.
Special thanks go to KPMG AG for their generous support and for hosting this memorable evening. We look forward to the next Annual Reception and more inspiring moments to come!

Autumn 2019: A Tea with Friends
For the first time, the Association of Friends and Sponsors of HSBA organised a tea with friends to which all members, teachers, professors, employees as well as interested company representatives were invited. In a relaxed and British atmosphere, the Peter Möhrle Coffee Lounge was the perfect place to exchange ideas, praise and criticism on the development of HSBA while enjoying some delicious scones and tea.
A great opportunity to get to know each other better and learn more about the Association of Friends and Sponsors. At the end of the afternoon everyone agreed: This afternoon will have to be repeated next year!
Spring 2019: Annual Reception
At the Annual Reception of the Association of Friends & Sponsors (Verein der Freunde & ¹óö°ù»å±ð°ù±ð°ù der HSBA e.V.) our numerous guests, including members of the association, students and company representatives, had the opportunity to meet and discuss with the renowned journalist and former anchorman of the Tagesthemen, Tom Buhrow.
Buhrow started off with taking a look to the US where for several years now Donald Trump has been using the media to drive the division of society. With interesting examples he showed up parallels between the Old and the New World making clear that in five to ten years Germany could be facing similar social challenges as the US. But with this in mind, what is the role of public service broadcasting today and why is it still relevant and important? Tom Buhrow made clear the importance of an independent provision of information to all people in one country as a means of social cohesion. The need for trustworthy news from an independent public service broadcaster in his opinion is larger than ever and holds the potential to further “glue†the society together. A truly impressive evening with a lot of food for thought for all guests!
We thank all participants and members of the association for the active participation and their support. Special thanks go to Senator Ian K. Karan, Chairman of the Association of Friends and Supporters of the HSBA e.V., for his introductory words and the enthusiasm with which he advances the further development of the HSBA.
