FOR WORKING PROFESSIONALS

Circular economy, governance and digital transformation professionals

This MBA is designed for these professionals who need to lead in that new business reality.

European organisations are entering a new competitive reality. They are reshaping strategy, investment, product design, procurement, risk, and growth.

You will learn how to connect circular economy strategy with digital technologies, regulatory foresight, business model innovation, and executive decision-making. The goal is not only to understand the transition. The goal is to use it to create value, build resilience, and lead transformation across functions.

Strong for leadership, finance and strategy, but often not designed around circular economy regulation, digital product passports, ESG transformation or deep-tech implementation.

Valuable for awareness and reporting, but often too narrow for business model redesign, investment decisions, operations, innovation and executive leadership.

Useful for technical literacy, but often disconnected from market strategy, regulatory context, organisational change and commercial value creation.
