DUBAI 2022: Entrepreneurship – Connecting Minds, Creating the Future

Our USI Executive MBA program is not only about formal lectures, project development, testimonials by leading managers; it is also about experience.
This is the purpose of this three-day Study Tour in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from 13 until 15 March 2022.

Why Dubai?

Dubai is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and has a reputation for being a forward-thinking and visionary city. Expo 2020 Dubai will be a great occasion to create, innovate and collaborate.

Dubai is a global hub for financial services, logistics, tourism, hospitality, and trade, and is steadily growing other sectors including healthcare, technology and clean energy.

The USI EMBA international module is the perfect opportunity for our students to get inspired by the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit of the city.

EXPO 2020

Expo 2020, first of its kind to be held in an Arab country, held in the district 2020, created on a tech-driven sustainable way of urban community living.

• Sustainability
  Every day, more and more of us take a sustainable path towards a future where we all live in balance with our only home: Planet Earth. As we join forces, small actions grow into positive global movements that will help communities protect and preserve the world around us.

• Mobility
  We live in a world of limitless connections. Explore horizons that drive human progress, as mobility continues to transform the way we live, connect with people, understand different cultures, and exchange knowledge and ideas.

• Opportunity
  There’s a ripple effect in everything we do. Even one person can be the key to unlocking eight billion opportunities that can help individuals and communities create a better tomorrow, today. It’s time to unleash the potential within and be an agent of change.

An antecedent of the modern aperitif was already consumed in ancient Rome, the mulsum based on wine and honey.
The etymology of the term leaves no doubt: it is defined aperitivo, from the Latin aperitivus (which opens), a drink able to stimulate and, therefore, “open” the feeling of hunger.

Digital transformation is about adapting businesses to a “new normal”. As digital technology, society and businesses co-evolve into this “new normal”, creating multiple levels of change and uncertainty, business leaders must think thoroughly about their business models and the new drivers of value creation and value capturing.
