HEC Paris in Qatar is contributing significantly to the human capacity development in the country through its programmes.
HEC Paris has been a member of Qatar Foundation since 2010, providing executive education in Qatar and the region.
“We are really proud of our achievements since the launch of our executive degree programmes.
Since 2012, we have seen over 400 graduates enhance their leadership and management skills, blending them with their existing capabilities to benefit their organisations and wider society.
One of our achievements is to attract a high calibre of participants from around the region, from senior executives in governmental and private organisations, to entrepreneurs and aspiring managers,” said the dean and CEO of HEC Paris in Qatar, Dr Nils Plambeck.
“We have a deep understanding of Qatar Foundation’s mission and we share the objective to support Qatar in its journey towards the National Vision 2030 goals to transform the country in to a knowledge-based economy by unlocking human potential.
The strong bond we have with Qatar Foundation continues to grow and we have renewed our agreement for a further five years,” said the dean.
“At HEC Paris in Qatar, we constantly adapt our programmes to reflect the evolving economic landscape and the digital age.
This approach ensures that we equip participants with relevant, up-to-date skills that are necessary to succeed.

The official also pointed out that more and more organisations in Qatar are reposing their trust in the institute to educate their leaders and employees in custom programmes.
“More and more organisations have trusted us to work with future leaders or senior executives.
It is important to notice that we have not only collaborated with companies but also with semi-governmental and governmental organisations in Qatar, for example with the Ministry of Transport and Communications,” noted Dr Plambeck. “For designing the programme, we engage in intensive discussions with the clients, which allows us to develop programmes that fully match the objectives and needs of the client.”
The Specialised Master’s Degree of HEC Paris in Qatar is constantly enhanced to suit to the needs of the professionals in the ever evolving nature of the market. “In that regard, we have added a new track to the programme, Entrepreneurship & Business Development, which allows participants to further personalise their learning journey to suit their career goals and the needs of their organisation.
The 10-day track has been designed to develop the skills that are necessary to be successful in starting a business or developing an existing venture,” continued the official.
