The history of HORIZON begins from my work in the Middle East as part of a team at one of the global technology corporations, when I met many inspiring people of various nationalities striving for success
In general, these people can be described as innovators and leaders of various corporate profiles — from large national corporations and global technology companies to startups.
A few years later, while pursuing an MBA degree at universities in England and Australia, I realized that traditional business schools focus mainly on academic subjects, not paying enough attention to practical tasks. A business school should become a platform where participants could study not only and not so much the academic basics but actively apply knowledge in practice, helping to solve real business challenges.
I decided to create a place where passionate people from Russia, China and the Middle East could meet and join forces for practical learning and development.

I invited successful young entrepreneurs, respected executives, and well-known industry experts of different nationalities to become part of our teaching team.
However, for the school to truly stand out, it was necessary to create a unique community where students could interact, exchange ideas, and inspire each other. To achieve this, we developed special exchange and internship programs with local enterprises and startups so that students could gain practical experience and establish business contacts at an international level.
