No fixed curriculum. No limits. Just you, your ambition, and a European playground of opportunities

This is a programme you won't find anywhere else. It is for the bold, for the jumpers, the pioneers.

But if you love travelling and networking and want something new? Then this is for you.

Let's reshuffle

The world is evolving, and so is learning. The Talent MBA is an adventure, a network, and a launchpad for what’s next. Here, you design your journey—gaining real-world experience, a powerful European network, and new ways of thinking and doing, alongside pioneers from across Europe.

No rigid programs. No predefined paths. Just hands-on learning, meaningful connections, and the freedom to shape your future.

You are not alone in this adventure

This isn’t a solo journey. The people in your Talent MBA class? They’re not just classmates. They’re your future co-founders, collaborators, and lifelong connections.

You’ll challenge each other. Push each other forward. Travel together, fail together, win together. Some of these people will become your closest friends. Others? Business partners.

This is about finding your tribe—the people who get what it means to take risks and build something new.

The reward

You leave this MBA with more than just knowledge—you leave with experience, connections, and a clear direction forward. Throughout the program, you build a track record of real-world projects that showcase what you can do, gaining hands-on experience that sets you apart. Along the way, you become part of a European network of founders, investors, and innovators, opening doors to opportunities across industries and borders. But perhaps most valuable of all, you find yourself surrounded by a crew of like-minded peers—people who challenge, inspire, and push you beyond what you thought was possible. And when you step out of the Talent MBA, you don’t just leave with new skills—you leave with a clear vision of where you’re headed next, because you’ve already started building it.
