Why this expansion matters
LBS opened a regional presence in the Middle East with its Dubai campus in 2007 and has steadily increased engagement with Saudi organisations and leaders. The School’s Executive Education Office is located in Diriyah, Riyadh and was officially opened in November 2025. The Riyadh office will enable LBS to scale local delivery and co-design programmes with partners. It will reinforce the School’s role in supporting organisations and people that are playing a key role in realising the ambitions of Saudi Vision 2030, through the development of their human capability.
LBS has seen substantial growth in participation from Saudi executives across its executive education and degree programmes. Through strategic collaborations with organisations such as the Diriyah Company, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) and BSF, the School aims to support the development of thousands of leaders in the Kingdom and work with leading public and private sector organisations, to drive long-term people-centred transformation.
