- Stiftelsen Kristian Gerhard Jebsen
The foundation Stiftelsen Kristian Gerhard Jebsen was established in 2009 to honour the memory of shipowner Kristian Gerhard Jebsen and his contributions to international business development. The foundation supports outstanding initiatives within academia, research, the arts, healthcare and social programmes, as well as efforts that promote societal progress and environmental sustainability. In the cultural field, the foundation seeks to strengthen Norwegian cultural life and enable artistic projects of international calibre.
Support from Stiftelsen Kristian Gerhard Jebsen helps make possible the Bergen International Festival’s 2026 residency with Esa-Pekka Salonen as Artist in Residence.
The Bergen International Festival are proud of its collaboration with Stiftelsen Kristian Gerhard Jebsen, and grateful for the foundation's support.
