100 MBA students, Milano and its unique flavour, a top keynote speaker and an inspiring round table with Deans from top European Business School. Welcome to the 8^th MBA World Summit.

From November 16^th – 18^th our School has hosted the MBA World Summit, bringing together – on campus, for the 1^st time since the pandemic – business education professionals and 100 MBA students from the best business schools worldwide.

“We’re proud to have been the first Italian business school to host this event. It has represented such a big opportunity of networking and learning for our MBA students” – explains Tommaso Agasisti, host of the MBA World Summit and Associate Dean for Internationalization and Quality at POLIMI GSoM.

Beside networking, with a roundtable of Deans from top European Business Schools which took place on day one, participants had also the chance to get inspiring insights on the role of Business School and Management education in contributing to a better future for all.

“It has been enriching sharing views with representatives of other top business school on topics such as how business education and MBAs need to change to adapt to the new skills managers need, and how organizations and business leaders have realized that companies have to rethink their purpose and role within society.” says Prof. Agasisti.
