How NSBM contributes
NSBM recognises partnerships as an important mechanism for achieving sustainable development and has developed collaborations with universities, industry, professional organisations, government bodies and community organisations. Examples include NSBM's partnerships with University of Plymouth, Southern Cross University, Massey University and American University, as well as industry partnerships with organisations such as HSenid and JAT Holdings. NSBM's Research Council also facilitates local and international research collaborations and industry-linked projects. More recently, CREST 2026 brought students together with NGOs, schools, local businesses and community organisations to implement SDG-focused projects, demonstrating how partnerships can convert academic knowledge into community-level action.
