Anna on Networking Opportunities at SKOLKOVO MBA

Oh, I wish I would have written a book about our networking opportunities. SKOLKOVO is known for its unique networking opportunities as it has been built for business and by business.

Our founding partners, 18 world renowned international and Russian companies, and Entrepreneurs (such as Credit Suisse, Troika Dialogue, SunGroup, Ruben Vardanian, Roman Abramovich) combined their efforts in this great initiative. They mentor the students and provide individual sessions on a regular basis. Each academic class is supplemented by live cases of well-known guest speakers and industry experts. Our Campus was visited by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Condoleezza Rice, Royal Prince of Dutch and many other outstanding leaders. Student cards have been given out by the likes of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and the Founding father of Singapore Republic - Lee Kuan. I would say that SKOLKOVO is an eco-system of amazing business opportunities and I encourage young ambitious leaders and entrepreneurs to make full use of them.
