About GLOBIS Middle East

Based in Muscat, GLOBIS Middle East is part of Japan’s largest business school and a global network spanning 11 locations worldwide. We bring decades of experience working with international organizations and business leaders to the Middle East, combining Japanese perspectives with a distinctly global approach to business education.

Our presence in Oman builds on longstanding ties with the region and marks the next step in that relationship. From Muscat, we look forward to developing leaders across the Middle East while strengthening connections between the region and Japan through business, education, and innovation.

GLOBIS University has been officially recognized by Oman’s Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MOHERI) since June 12, 2025, and is included on its list of higher education institutions recommended for full-time study in Japan.

Hub Leader Message

Aiste Dewulf

President & CEO, GLOBIS Europe / Managing Director, GLOBIS Corporation / Hub Leader, GLOBIS Middle East

I am excited to help build a community of future leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals in Oman and across the Middle East. Oman and Japan share a long-standing relationship built on mutual trust, respect, and cooperation, and I believe there is a real opportunity to build on that connection through business, education, and innovation.

With our base in Muscat, we want to contribute to Oman Vision 2040 by developing the next generation of leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs. There is so much talent and entrepreneurial energy here, and our ambition is to connect with and support that same potential across the wider Middle East.

At GLOBIS Middle East, we want to share the practical approach to management and leadership that GLOBIS has developed in Japan, while building strong connections with business, startup, and investment communities. I believe our experience in leadership development and entrepreneurship can help people across the region turn their ideas and ambitions into action.

I look forward to working closely with our students, partners, businesses, and local communities to develop the next generation of leaders, strengthen connections between Japan and the Middle East, and contribute to a prosperous and sustainable future for the region.
