ArmInfo.  Armenia plans to implement an international business education program that will become one of the best in the region. This is stated in the message of the Armenian International School "Matena".

As noted in the message, starting in September 2025, a new EMBA  (Executive MBA) program for the development of management skills and  business education is planned to be implemented in Armenia, which  will provide participants with the opportunity to get acquainted with  the experience of global business leadership abroad. In addition to  Armenia, the educational program will be held in Germany, Cyprus, the  United Arab Emirates and China, which will provide participants with  the opportunity to study the management experience of leading  companies in these countries, as well as to find reliable  international business contacts.

The program will be jointly developed and implemented by the Armenian  International School "Matena" and the leading business school of  Germany ESMT Berlin.

The program is designed for people holding leadership positions in  various fields. In a year and a half, participants will have the  opportunity to significantly improve almost all the necessary  business management skills: from professional negotiations to digital  transformation of the company, from effective financial management to  confident public speaking, from overcoming conflicts and crises to  sound investment strategies, from the use of artificial intelligence  to deep self-knowledge.

The program will feature current and former directors and vice  presidents of global giants: BlackRock, NVIDIA, Rakuten, Moderna,  IBM, BCG, Oracle, McKinsey, Shell, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, who  will directly share their unique experience.

"Being founded by companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Deutsche Bank,  Siemens, McKinsey and others, we are very careful in choosing  partners, and the partnership with Matena is based on trust and  first-class quality of business education, confirmed by the  experience of joint short-term programs," says ESMT Berlin President  Jorg Rohol.
