We nurture your human and professional skills so you can embrace your inner potential and leave your mark in the world.

We want you to stand out from the crowd with a hands-on approach and a real-world perspective, and a keen sense of contemporary and foundational issues, such as product innovation, entrepreneurship, globalization, sustainability, and digital business.

With the support and collaboration of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, in the context of the Nova SBE - Gulbenkian Chair for the Impact Economy, the program brings together the technical and personal competencies of management and innovation with an entrepreneurial journey for impact.

What's at the finish line?

The Work Project

Students must complete a Master’s Work Project, which is equivalent to a Master's Thesis, supervised by a professor. This project will be based on the students’ ideas to tackle grand challenges, either it’s their own social venture or an innovative solution to implement within an existing organization.
