FUNIC Business School Signs Strategic Partnership with NLBA to Expand Global Learning and Dual MBA Opportunities FUNIC Business School—the Executive Education school of Fotabe University of Cameroon, officially accredited by MINESUP as FUNIC Cameroon Higher Institute of Entrepreneurship and Technology—is proud to announce a landmark international partnership with the Netherlands Business Academy (NLBA).

 

The cooperation agreement was signed in Breda, The Netherlands, by Dr. Fotabe Elmine Ekali, Board Chair of FUNIC Business School, and NLBA Rector Jan Van Zwieten. This milestone strengthens FUNIC’s position as the leading destination for internationally focused business education, dual degrees, and global exposure in Cameroon.

 

This collaboration unites two institutions that share a strong commitment to practical, hands-on business learning, ethical leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation. NLBA’s robust European expertise, combined with FUNIC’s deep engagement with African markets, creates a powerful academic alliance designed to prepare leaders for an interconnected world.

A Partnership That Strengthens FUNIC’s International Outlook

 

Through this partnership, FUNIC students will gain access to international pathways, cross-border academic activities, and mobility programs that broaden their global perspectives. NLBA’s long-standing dedication to international knowledge exchange aligns seamlessly with FUNIC’s mission of shaping leaders who understand diverse markets, cultures, and economic systems.

 

As Cameroon continues to grow as a major economic hub—especially in finance, technology, logistics, and services—this collaboration ensures FUNIC graduates are well-prepared for high-impact careers both locally and internationally.

A Major Breakthrough for Dual MBA Programs: Start in Cameroon, Complete in the Netherlands

 

One of the most transformative aspects of this partnership is the enhanced Dual MBA pathway that allows students to begin their MBA studies at FUNIC in Cameroon and complete the program at NLBA in the Netherlands.

 

This unique structure gives students:

• A strong African business foundation at FUNIC
• International immersion in Europe
• Exposure to global business networks
• A dual qualification merging African insight with European excellence

 

This breakthrough reinforces FUNIC’s reputation for offering the best Dual MBA in Cameroon, with unmatched global relevance and mobility.

 

The strengthened program is supported by:

• European-aligned curricula
• International faculty involvement
• Practical, industry-focused learning
• Study abroad and academic exchange opportunities

 

This dual-country model provides FUNIC students with one of the most competitive graduate business experiences available in Central Africa.

Expanded Access to Erasmus+ and Other Scholarship Opportunities

 

Through this partnership, FUNIC students will enjoy expanded opportunities to benefit from Erasmus+ and other European-funded scholarships, enabling them to engage in short-term mobility, exchange programs, and capacity-building initiatives.

 

These scholarships complement FUNIC’s own financial aid schemes aimed at supporting aspiring entrepreneurs, emerging leaders, and professionals across Cameroon. Together, they ensure that financial limitations do not restrict access to world-class education.

A Shared Commitment to Ethical, Practical, and Innovation-Driven Learning

 

Both FUNIC and NLBA are aligned in their focus on education that goes beyond theory. FUNIC’s emphasis on entrepreneurship, innovation, and ethical leadership fits naturally with NLBA’s practical training model.

 

Through this collaboration, students will benefit from:

• Real-world business challenges
• Cross-country collaborative projects
• Case studies based on emerging markets
• Joint seminars, workshops, and research activities

 

This focus ensures that FUNIC graduates are not only academically equipped but also practically prepared to lead, innovate, and drive meaningful change.

Moving Forward: A New Chapter for FUNIC

 

The signing of this agreement marks a significant chapter in FUNIC’s journey to becoming the most internationally oriented business school in Cameroon and Central Africa.

 

By partnering with NLBA, FUNIC expands its global visibility, academic credibility, and international capacity—while giving students unmatched access to mobility, scholarships, and dual-degree pathways.

 

At FUNIC Business School, we believe the future belongs to leaders who can connect worlds, think across cultures, and thrive in diverse business environments. This partnership makes that future more accessible for every FUNIC learner.
