Prince Mohammed Bin Salman College of Business and Entrepreneurship, the Kingdom’s world-class business school, celebrated the graduation of 23 leaders from the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones, known as MODON, who completed the Advanced Leadership Program.

MBSC’s Advanced Leadership Program provides a unique opportunity for experienced professionals to hone their leadership skills with an entrepreneurial mindset. The program is designed to help participants develop their strategic thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities. It also emphasizes the importance of team empowerment, innovation, and continuous learning in the modern workplace.

Dr. Zeger Degraeve, dean of MBSC, said: “The graduation of 23 leaders from MODON reflects MBSC’s growing impact and effectiveness in business education. MBSC has introduced a suite of new programs tailored to the evolving needs of professionals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and designed to equip participants with the essential skills and knowledge necessary to lead and manage effectively in a dynamic and competitive business landscape.”

MBSC has been conditionally accredited by the National Center for Academic Accreditation and Evaluation, at Education and Training Evaluation Commission, from May 2024 to April 2026.

MODON signed a partnership with MBSC to develop national leaders capable of adopting innovative thinking patterns and enhancing their leadership skills, in alignment with the Human Capacity Development Program under Saudi Vision 2030.

MODON’s Advanced Leadership Program highlights the organization’s commitment to excellence by enhancing its current leaders’ skills for strategic roles. This initiative empowers leaders with the confidence, impact, and entrepreneurial mindset needed for high performance. Partnering with MBSC ensures its leaders receive top-tier training, reinforcing its dedication to fostering a culture of excellence.

MBSC is situated  in King Abdullah Economic City, a contemporary urban center that provides an unparalleled modern environment for both students and faculty. The college offers world-class education from Saudi Arabia for Saudi Arabia in both KAEC and Riyadh, delivering practical, pragmatic, hands-on experiential learning to develop a new generation of transformative leaders.

Since its establishment in 2001, MODON has been responsible for developing and overseeing industrial lands and infrastructure. It currently manages 36 industrial cities, both operational and under development, along with private industrial cities and complexes across the Kingdom. This includes 6,443 industrial facilities and more than 7,900 industrial, investment, and logistical contracts. The total area of developed land amounts to more than 209 million square meters. With the launch of Saudi Vision 2030, which positions industry as a strategic choice to strengthen the national economy and promote sustainable development, MODON has become a key entity in achieving these national aspirations.
