University Relations for Capacity Building—Highlights of HP’s Program

The purpose of this panel was to give visibility to some of the efforts of a large global company to build capacity in the world.2 A few in the audience confirmed afterwards that their preconceptions of corporations had changed — they could now tentatively allow that maybe corporations could do good as well as do well, and in fact, that maybe some companies understand that they will do better by doing good. Several other attendees proposed projects for collaboration, and indeed collaboration has ensued.
