Celebrating a partnership that connects leaders, ideas and perspectives across continents 🌏 This summer, we welcomed participants from 复旦大学, Fudan School of Management, MBA and EMBA programmes to campus for immersive learning experiences designed to broaden perspectives, spark new ideas and strengthen global connections. Through dynamic sessions with London Business School faculty, participants explored topics shaping the future of business, from artificial intelligence and global disruption to entrepreneurship, leadership and responsible growth. "Fudan is one of China's leading business schools, and what I value most is the depth and consistency of the relationship... This is a genuine long-term partnership rather than a one-off, and that continuity lets us keep refining the programme around what this audience really needs," says Rahul Dogra, Fudan MBA Programme Director at LBS. “The exchanges in the classroom helped me truly understand what it means to embrace the richness of our world. Inclusion is not simply about tolerating differences; it is about recognising that every difference is shaped by its own unique context and has its own validity,” says Lin Lin EMBA2024, Fudan University. Now in its eighth MBA cohort and eleventh EMBA cohort, the LBS–Fudan partnership continues to connect ambitious leaders across markets and create opportunities for learning that extend far beyond the classroom.

The best leaders never stop learning. Our Leadership Incubator gives student leaders the opportunity to develop the skills, confidence and self-awareness needed to lead with greater impact through experiential learning, coaching and practical workshops. Hear directly from participants Tania F. Davila and Max Taylor about the moments that challenged them, shaped their thinking and transformed the way they lead.
