Our program focused on the strategic use of artificial intelligence, exploring how leaders can understand, evaluate, and apply AI in business decision-making. Academic sessions were complemented by company visits, expert discussions, a visit to Bled, and numerous opportunities to connect beyond the classroom.

The week concluded with a final session led by Luka Tomat, PhD, followed by the presentation of International Week certificates. Its greatest value, however, came from the exchange of perspectives among participants from different countries, industries, and business environments.

LJUBLJANA MBA around the world

While Ljubljana welcomed international Executive MBA participants, LJUBLJANA MBA participants travelled to partner business schools around the world. Their reflections on LinkedIn show the diversity of topics, business environments, and experiences made possible through the EMBA Consortium network.

Brazil, FGV/EBAPE, Rio de Janeiro

International Week in Brazil offered participants new perspectives on business and the opportunity to connect with Executive MBA peers from around the world. Vid Petelin highlighted the learning experience, fresh perspectives, and new professional relationships and friendships that continued beyond the program itself.

Poland, Kozminski University, Warsaw

United States, FIU Chapman Graduate School of Business, Miami

Miami was another destination for LJUBLJANA MBA participants this year. Uroš Živaljević described International Week at FIU Chapman Graduate School of Business as a valuable opportunity for learning, networking, and gaining new perspectives within the global EMBA Consortium community.

One network, many countries and perspectives

From Brazil, Poland, and Italy to Portugal, China, Germany, Japan, and the United States, International Week demonstrates the real value of the EMBA Consortium network.

Participants do more than attend academic sessions. They step into new business environments, visit companies, exchange ideas with executives and experts, and work alongside peers from different cultures and industries.

At the same time, Ljubljana is part of the same international story. By welcoming participants from partner schools and sending LJUBLJANA MBA participants to programs around the world, internationalisation becomes more than a subject in the curriculum. It becomes a lived experience.

Participants return from International Week with more than new knowledge. They bring back fresh perspectives, new professional connections, and an international network that continues to be part of their Executive MBA journey long after the week itself.

Study in Ljubljana. Learn around the world. Bring global perspectives back to your leadership journey.
