World-class executive education transforming individuals, strengthening organisations and contributing to Moldova's long-term prosperity
And yet, CBS is more than one program.
Through Executive Education, a curated leadership community, and world-class academic partnerships, we are changing what business education means in this country.
We are not just building a school.
We are building a legacy.
Intensive short-format programs delivered by international professors and experts from SSE, Oulu University, Microsoft, and Amazon
A community that builds leadership culture and strategic direction in Moldova - events, networking and a space where leaders learn, exchange and grow together
"At Chișinău Business School, we are building a learning community for leaders who want to think strategically, lead with integrity, and build for the long term. We believe that true success is measured not only by short-term results, but also by the impact we leave on organizations, communities, and future generations.Moldova’s next growth stage requires leaders trained to international standards — at home."
”Moldova is at one of the most significant moments in its history - preparing to join the European Union, with an enormous and exciting task ahead. It requires energy, talent, and people who choose to invest in their country. By giving leaders the opportunity to study and grow right here, in Chișinău, CBS creates a reason to stay - and to build Moldova's future together, from within.”
At CBS, we believe that great leadership is not taught through theory alone. It is also built through a rigorous, human-centered approach to learning. Inspired by our academic partner, Stockholm School of Economics in Riga, our educational philosophy is grounded in four non-negotiable principles.
Moving beyond intuition. We teach you to leverage data, rigorous analysis, and empirical evidence to substantiate every strategic move.
Knowledge that works. Our faculty, a blend of international academics and international business representatives, delivers immediately applicable knowledge, translating global management theory directly into solutions for the specific challenges facing the Moldovan and regional markets.
Proactive value creation. We foster an ownership mindset, encouraging leaders to identify opportunities where others see obstacles.
Responsible leadership. We integrate social and ethical responsibility into the core of business strategy, ensuring long-term sustainability and trust
