“At IE University, we are deeply committed to the power of education to promote freedom, equality, fairness, prosperity and social progress. Thanks to our collaboration with the Royal Commission of Riyadh (RCRC), our IE Center for Leadership & Innovation in the Middle East, based in the Saudi capital, will contribute to the growth of talent development in the region. The Center will generate research and offer a dynamic learning environment, mentorship opportunities, and corporate support for business leaders to accelerate their professional careers and succeed in a globalized world.

IE University’s programs in Saudi Arabia mirror those of our facilities in Europe, emphasizing values such as innovation, entrepreneurship, diversity, humanities and our commitment to sustainability. These programs also follow the same academic methodologies, including mixed-gender groups, fostering critical thinking, interpersonal skills, open-mindedness and adaptability to constant change.

We at IE University look forward to serving as a key stakeholder in the region’s future, with the aim of bringing together businesspeople, entrepreneurs and innovators to help them develop valuable skills that further their careers and their organizations.”
