This milestone cohort of the specialized master's program begins in October 2025, continuing its legacy of cultivating global leaders equipped to navigate and thrive in dynamic business landscapes.
'Through the years, we've grown manifold and built programs that merge global curriculum standards with relevant local practices. We're proud to say that our educational institution represents the best of both worlds—international academic flavours with a strong local corporate network,' said Alessandro Giuliani, Managing Director, SDA Bocconi Asia Center.
Designed to meet the demands of the modern world, the IEMB program empowers working professionals and ambitious entrepreneurs with a minimum of 9 years of experience. The 15-month program offers a balanced approach, comprising monthly three-day weekend modules complemented by select online sessions. A standout feature of the IEMB is its immersive two-week International Immersion at SDA Bocconi School of Management in Milan, Italy, culminating in a Concentration Week that allows participants to specialize in one of four advanced streams alongside international peers.
Highlighting the significance of this 10th edition, Professor Veronica Vecchi, Academic Director of IEMB, stated, 'In today's fast-evolving world, leaders must think strategically, act with agility, and lead with empathy. More than functional expertise, what sets successful leaders apart is the ability to adapt to uncertainty, challenge established thinking, and drive meaningful change. The 10th edition of IEMB continues to foster these capabilities, preparing professionals to lead with confidence and clarity in a constantly shifting global landscape.'
Upon completion of the program, graduates receive an International Executive Master in Business degree from SDA Bocconi School of Management, Italy, along with 60 ECTS credits. Additionally, graduates gain Bocconi Alumni status with access to a global network of over 140,000 professionals.

Interested candidates can begin their admissions journey by completing a specialized 30-minute online assessment or by submitting valid GMAT scores dated after January 1, 2019. The 10th cohort of the IEMB program will begin in October.

Modeshift and ITSMAX Partner to Launch Validating Fareboxes, Advancing Modeshift's Fully-Integrated, 360-Degree Fare Collection System
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Modeshift, a leading provider of cloud-based fare collection, announces a strategic partnership with Canadian intelligent transportation technology leader ITSMAX Solutions Inc. Together, the companies are launching new validating fareboxes and a seamless deployment and maintenance program, which is fully integrated with Modeshift's complete, 360-degree fare collection platform. Legacy fare systems have long burdened agencies with unreliable hardware, sluggish deployments, poor customer service that leaves them waiting days or weeks for support and siloed, proprietary software that's difficult to maintain or integrate. Often built before today's Internet of Things (IoT) standards, these outdated systems can't easily communicate with one another, making agencies vulnerable to disruptions whenever one component fails or updates. The Modeshift/ITSMAX partnership addresses these challenges by combining future-ready validating fareboxes with a fully integrated, interoperable platform, backed by a responsive, easy-to-work-with team that delivers fast deployments, tool-free maintenance and dependable service so agencies can focus on moving riders, not fixing broken systems. 'Legacy farebox providers have built their business on outdated, inflexible systems,' said Miroslav Katsarov, CEO of Modeshift. 'We're changing that model by combining cloud-native innovation with reliable and proven hardware and finally giving agencies a modern option that can handle every form of payment, provide real-time data and reduce operating costs. This partnership with ITSMAX is about giving transit systems choice, adaptability and control.' Fast operation and easy maintenance are central to the design of the new validating fareboxes. Designed for quick, on-site serviceability, they significantly reduce system downtime and keep vehicles in operation. The Validating Fareboxes Feature: Fast, secure cash handling to reduce boarding time Ergonomic touch-screen interface for seamless user experience Support for all payment types: cash, smartcards, mobile QRs and paper tickets/transfers Integrated spatial intelligence and real-time data sync Modular design for tool-free maintenance and minimal downtime All major farebox components are modular and can be swapped out in minutes, minimizing the need for specialized tools or lengthy repairs. With fewer moving parts, the likelihood of mechanical failure is dramatically reduced. Problem components can be swapped out by maintenance staff allowing the vehicle to return to service immediately—while repairs can be handled off-site without disrupting daily operations. 'New intelligent transportation hardware and software solutions must be integrated, interoperable and simpler to maintain,' said Cyril Robitaille, President of ITSMAX. 'We are excited to be partnering with Modeshift with whom we share this vision to deliver innovative Fare Collection solutions.' ITSMAX Solutions' field-proven devices will now be manufactured in the United States at a new, locally based facility, following Buy America compliance, supporting domestic job creation and reducing supply chain dependencies for U.S. transit agencies. By adding cash fare capability with ITSMAX's validating fareboxes, Modeshift provides a comprehensive alternative to legacy systems, empowering transit agencies of all sizes to adopt future-ready, multimodal fare collection without sacrificing ease, compliance or operational control. Combined with Modeshift's account-based ticketing platform, mobile app, real-time passenger information system and CAD/AVL, the fareboxes advance a system that is intuitive for riders and powerful for operators. Modeshift's end-to-end solution can be scaled up or down to fit the needs of rural transit systems, mid-sized cities and large metropolitan agencies alike, positioning it as a new standard for cost-effective, future-ready transit infrastructure. The new fareboxes are currently deploying with two transit agencies in the USA. For more information, visit and About Modeshift Modeshift, Inc. is a technology company that helps transit agencies modernize their user-facing technology and the underlying infrastructure to improve efficiency, increase ridership and provide adequate, sustainability-oriented service. It is the only all-in-one digital mobility infrastructure platform that also gives the transit industry the tools to reduce their carbon emissions and aim for sustainability.

Fiberon Partners With ‘Military Makeover' to Honor Air Force Veteran With Donated Deck
MAUMEE, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fiberon Decking recently joined forces with the television program 'Military Makeover with Montel®' to build a deluxe deck for a military veteran. The company donated the materials for a 200-square-foot composite deck, creating an outdoor oasis for 20-year Air Force veteran Matt Kosto. 'Matt served multiple deployments with the military, and we wanted to show our appreciation for his service and honor those who make the sacrifice to serve their country,' said Kate Haws, director, brand communications. Share 'Matt served multiple deployments with the military, and we wanted to show our appreciation for his service and honor those who make the sacrifice to serve their country,' said Kate Haws, director, brand communications. 'Matt loves spending time outdoors with his family, so giving him a revamped, low-maintenance space to do that is our small way of giving back.' The new deck features Fiberon's Good Life composite decking, perfect for creating a casual outdoor living space with an authentic wood look. Built in the color Bungalow from the Good Life Escapes collection, the deck resembles exotic hardwood in a deep, rich brown. Crucial for Kosto's Arizona-based home, the Good Life collection is Class B fire-rated, meaning it is designed to slow the spread of flames, provides an added layer of protection to the property and offers greater peace of mind. Good Life is made with 94% recycled material, combining recycled wood with the long-lasting resilience of recycled plastic. Its durable composite core resists splintering, rotting, cracking, insects and decay, and a three-sided cap layer helps resist staining and fading. The decking is backed by a 30-year performance, stain and fade warranty. As part of the project, Fiberon also provided its CountrySide railing in brown to enclose the deck. CountrySide railing strikes an ideal balance between beauty and strength, featuring an understated satin finish and clever sub-rail reinforcement. Round, matte black aluminum balusters finish the look with a unique contrast. Led by talk show legend, military advocate and veteran Montel Williams, 'Military Makeover with Montel®' enlists conscientious designers, contractors, landscapers and other home improvement professionals to transform the homes and lives of military families across the country. The episode featuring Fiberon's deck for Kosto will air Friday, June 6 on Lifetime TV and American Forces Network.
