Congratulations to our Master Class CEE 2025/26 Graduates!

In the past 8 months, these bright minds explored various facets of business in CEE – they learned directly from our corporate partners in the classroom, got to visit them at their locations and had the opportunity to learn the cultural and management differences from big and small businesses on their field trip to Warsaw.

Risk and Opportunity in CEE was this year’s project seminar topic, and our students got various perspectives from our corporate partners on the issue. 

During the graduation ceremony the students shared their findings in a big presentation they worked on in small groups throughout the year. Rainer Matiasek moderated the event on stage and Dionisi Nikolov expressed his thanks to the cohort and our corporate partners.

During the photo sessions and the socializing to close out the evening, it became once again apparent that real bonds had been formed this past year. We now send these students on their way as they'll carry those bonds and the experiences from the Master Class CEE on their professional journeys.

We wish our graduates all the best for the future!
