Deusto Business School has adopted 'Innovation through knowledge' as its motto and inspiration, since nowadays knowledge has become critical to growth and success in today's competitive business world.The School will place a special emphasis on those issues related to innovation management, financial services, human development and social responsibility, through a wide range of programmes. These include:
- Internacional Masters in Innovation Management-Im2.
- Masters in Human Resources
- Executive MBA- EMBA.

The progressive alliances between DBS and other foreign business schools and universities like Oxford, Georgetown or Insead, and numerous national and international companies will influence the design of Masters programmes, as well as the development of specialised executive programmes and customised in-company courses. Their methods combine both theoretical models and practical applications within a context of great intellectual, cultural and language wealth.
During the presentation of Deusto Business School on 3 April at the Madrid Stock Exchange, a discussion was held on ?Women and Innovation?, where five leading professionals in the Spanish economic sphere took part:Belén Amatriaín (General Manager of Telefónica), Ana Patricia Botín (Chairwoman of Banesto), Cristina Garmendia (Chairwoman of Genetrix), Antonio Catalán (Chairman of AC Hotels), and Pedro Luis Uriarte (Chairman of the Basque Agency for Innovation-Innobasque).
This School is backed up by the hallmark of the University of Deusto, synonymous with rigour and professionalism; by a powerful network of companies, institutions and alumni that support it; by an Advisory Board made up of scholars and managers from top-level Business Schools, and by a Board of Directors where some of the leading figures in the corporate world take part such as Alfredo Sáenz, Alejandro Echevarría, José Ignacio Goirigolzarri, Xavier de Irala, Juan María Nin and Juan Hoyos, among others.
