With world economic growth in the doldrums and seeking new focus areas, the themes of iWeek – Clean Energy for a Sustainable Business, Luxury Management and Entrepreneurship – are hot topics in Singapore and Asia.
The 17 nationalities represented at iWeek provide a unique opportunity for interaction and networking. Aalto Executive MBA International Week is being held for the sixth time, and for the first time in Asia.
"We already provide the Aalto EMBA program in six countries, with Indonesia as our latest conquest. Direct, fast and informal exchange of ideas on experiences of different markets is now a must for everyone involved in business life. iWeek is one of our jewels in the crown. It helps us toward our goal of becoming the preferred partner for international companies in both Northern Europe and Asia," says Professor Pekka Mattila, Group Managing Director of Aalto EE.
Program for seasoned executives
The Aalto Executive MBA program is tailored for experienced leaders. Its focus is on developing strategic thinking and action, and on the leadership challenges of the new age. The Financial Times has ranked the Aalto Executive MBA as the best Executive MBA program in the Nordic Countries. Each year, the newspaper evaluates only the world's 100 best Executive MBA programs.
The sixth iWeek will be attended by a total of 118 Aalto Executive MBA students, including the first cohort from the Indonesian and Taiwanese programs. Ritva Viljanen, Deputy Mayor of the City of Helsinki, greeted the guests at the reception for the inaugural event, held at Singapore's Alkaff Mansion. Aalto EE is an educational partner of the City of Helsinki. The first Executive MBA program tailored for the city's needs began in the fall of 2012.
