In 2023 the MBA World Summit returned to the United States and traveled straight to the epicenter of global innovation: Silicon Valley. Over two intensive days, a carefully selected group of 100 of the most inspiring MBA students from the world’s leading business schools, together with high-potential entrepreneurs and executives, came together in Palo Alto to connect, co-create and challenge the status quo.

True to its spirit as the pinnacle summit of the world’s best MBA programs, the gathering offered a dynamic platform for high-impact exchange and best-practice sharing in an intimate and uplifting atmosphere. Participants explored some of the most pressing questions for people, planet and economy, discussed bold new business ideas and impact-driven ventures, and expanded their global networks in meaningful and sustainable ways.

The MBA World Summit is an initiative by the European leadership network QX – Quarterly Crossing. Designed as a unique launch pad for future collaborations, joint ventures, roll-outs, market entries and promising investments, the Summit gives its attendees the rare opportunity to become accredited premium members of a powerful global network of top managers, entrepreneurs and “Head Honchos” worldwide. In Silicon Valley, this network mindset was palpable in every conversation: new friendships were formed, opportunities emerged and visions for the future were shaped.

Yet another inspiring MBA World Summit lies behind us – dynamic, global and impact-driven, and once more defined by the energy, curiosity and ambition of its outstanding participants.
