Jeddah: The Islamic Development Bank Institute (IsDBI) and Prince Mohammed Bin Salman College of Business and Entrepreneurship (MBSC) have signed agreements to foster entrepreneurial skills and leadership excellence in IsDB member countries and Muslim communities.
According to Saudi Press Agency, this collaboration aims to launch two innovative programs: the Entrepreneurial Mindset Development Program and the Strategic Business Leadership Program. These programs integrate Islamic finance values and instruments to foster economic growth in member countries. The programs will be hosted by MBSC and delivered jointly by both institutions.
Acting Director General of IsDBI Dr. Sami Al-Suwailem and Dean of MBSC Dr. Zeger Degraeve signed the agreements during a ceremony at the IsDB headquarters in Jeddah.
