Munich/Berlin. ESMT Berlin and the BMW Group are
partnering to offer ten full-tuition scholarships for the September
2023 intake of the ESMT Global Online MBA. This
program aims to nurture a new generation of leaders who will drive
innovation, sustainability, and positive change in business and
society in the future.
The BMW Group Change Maker Fellowship program builds
on the long-term partnership between ESMT and the BMW Group. It is
designed to develop tech-savvy future leaders by complementing a STEM
(science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) degree with
business education.
“After the successful start with the BMW Group Fellowship for Ukraine
last year, I am beyond delighted that we are again partnering with the
ESMT Berlin to support the professional future of the next generation.
This year, the focus will be on Hungary. With the BMW Group’s emerging
production plant in Debrecen, we are at the forefront when it comes to
sustainable production and digitalisation. Therefore, we are really
pleased to be able to provide our competences in those fields to the
talents of tomorrow”, says Ilka Horstmeier, Member of the
Board of Management of BMW AG, People and Real Estate, and Labour
Relations Director.
“We are delighted to partner with the BMW Group on this
transformative initiative,” says Jörg Rocholl, president of
ESMT. “The combination of technical and business knowledge is
critical for the development of leaders who can tackle complex
challenges and make a positive impact on their organizations and
society. The Change Maker Fellowships will help us identify and
support the next generation of change makers and innovators.”
