Âé¶¹¹ú²ú History

In 2008 Âé¶¹¹ú²ú celebrates its 20th anniversary, and unveils plans for a Global Alliance. 

The Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Alliance is . ‘At a time when the modern European Union did not yet exist, the Berlin Wall still stood, and the majority of business was conducted at a local, not international level, the pioneer program allowed students to travel between member schools and countries for their studies, equipping them with the necessary skills to succeed in the global economy.’

In 2002, the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú MIM was streamlined into a comprehensive one-year programme with a globally harmonised and thoroughly quality controlled curriculum. True to its founding principle - to have management education contribute to the building of bridges across all borders and boundaries, Âé¶¹¹ú²ú welcomed its first member schools from outside Europe in 2008. Since 2018, Âé¶¹¹ú²ú has been present on all inhabited continents of the world.

With the adoption of the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Vision 2025, inspired by the fundamental challenges faced by humanity in the 21st century, the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Global Alliance is emphasizing its commitment to developing responsible leaders for a more open, sustainable and inclusive future.
