Dr. Zeger Degraeve, Dean of MBSC, said: “Our graduates leave equipped not only with academic knowledge, but with the practical tools, values and networks to lead organizations, launch ventures, and contribute meaningfully to the Kingdom’s evolving economy”.

Several graduates will continue their entrepreneurial development through MBSC’s Scale Up Bootcamp in April, delivered in partnership with the Babson Global Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership.

MBSC has also expanded its Case Center, the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia, and developed more than 100 teaching cases focused on the Saudi business environment.
