Become a Partner

Netspar partners make a meaningful contribution to building and sharing scientific knowledge in the field of pensions and other retirement provisions. They offer their employees and directors development opportunities through Netspar’s superior network and unparalleled training program.

THREE REASONS TO BECOME A PARTNER

  • 1. YOU WILL OFFER BETTER PENSION PRODUCTS...

    … without having to reinvent the wheel. The Netspar network will keep you up-to-date on the latest insights. We make international expertise easily accessible. Whether you want a quick overview, are looking for practical applications, or need to go more in-depth, we share knowledge with our partners through podcasts, webinars, conferences, one-pagers, papers of both an academic and practical nature, and on-site seminars. Knowledge that produces better pension products and pension communication, meaning satisfied clients and participants.

  • 2. YOU CAN INNOVATE MORE EFFECTIVELY...

    … because Netspar helps you stay focused on the outside world: what is going on and the changes that are coming. Netspar’s network is made up of relevant actors from the pension sector, government, and the academic world. Partners have input in our research agenda and contribute to research in various ways. Science acquires real meaning thanks to collaboration with professional practice. Partners can then apply expertise directly in the innovation of their products, communications, and policy.

  • 3. YOU WILL ENHANCE YOUR POSITION AS AN ATTRACTIVE EMPLOYER...

    … thanks to access to exclusive development opportunities for professionals. It is in the interest of any organization to retain good directors and employees. Today’s professionals are critical and set high standards for a suitable work environment and relevant development opportunities. Netspar organizes events where professionals can meet each other and speak with researchers. And in collaboration with TIAS, Netspar offers its partners the executive pension innovation program: a real motivator.
