European Launch (2005)

On July 1-2, 2005, more than 30 academics from 13 top European business schools joined Babson College to launch the STEP Project at the 2005 Academic Summit. The Summit was held at host institution, Bocconi University in Milan, with cohost Instituto de Empresa.

Future STEP Summits will convene leading business families with academics in an interactive learning format to apply research findings.

Babson College and its European Summit partners would like to thank the Habib Bank AG Zurich and the Habib family for providing the seed funding for the European Summit. Muhammad Habib is a 1981 graduate of Babson College and is currently serving as the Chairman of the Babson European Executive Board.
