Deusto Business Agora is a forum for debate and reflection that brings together the Deusto Business School community to explore the challenges shaping today's world.
Supported by the Fundación Vizcaína Aguirre, this initiative brings leading international speakers to Deusto under two key principles: their ability to inspire global awareness and critical thinking, and their strong commitment to the values of Humanistic Leadership.
Speakers also engage directly with the University's diverse audiences, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, Executive Education participants, alumni, and representatives from the business community, creating a rich, cross-disciplinary environment for dialogue and knowledge exchange.
Deusto Business Agora positions Deusto Business School as a meeting point for exploring new ways of leading through a humanistic perspective.
Leading experts from academia, business, and international institutions bring the most pressing issues of today's global landscape to the University, fostering debate on the future of leadership, business, and society.
Deusto Business Agora explores cutting-edge topics that are reshaping our economic and social environment. Themes such as the future of Latin America, business internationalisation, and the impact of artificial intelligence on society and organisations are just a few examples.
The Foundation which enabled the establishment of the Commercial University of Deusto in 1916 continues collaborating with Deusto Business School.
Thanks to the support of Fundación Vizcaína Aguirre, we are able to welcome leading international speakers to Deusto Business School.
Deusto Business Agora represents another step forward in the internationalisation of Deusto Business School.
