Industry Engagement

Our active partnerships with business and industry ensure that the flow of knowledge remains current and relevant by bringing real-world experience and research-based knowledge into the classroom.

Stay Connected With Industry

The Business Analytics and AI Initiative (BAI), housed in the Poole College of Management at NC State University, serves as a hub for data analysis in business through education, research and thought leadership. The Initiative helps educate our students on how and why to use analytics to make business decisions – while also providing applied education, advancing world-class research and delivering global thought leadership in business analytics.

BAI Roundtables

Each spring, the BAI hosts an industry roundtable event where experts from across industries gather and share insights into the field of applied business analytics. The event is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn from leaders in business analytics and network with student and professional peers.
