People & Culture

Nova SBE is more than a school: It’s a community open to the world where students, faculty, staff, companies and professionals from many different industries meet every day. Here, we embrace diversity and learn from it. We are a meeting point for curious and restless minds, with a common goal to do different, to do better. We usually say that here... we are all pioneers.

At Nova SBE, we learn to be the best version of ourselves, putting everything we are into everything we do. We are a community focused on entrepreneurship, dedicated to creating talent and solutions capable of transforming the world in a positive way. It's what we call the Nova Way of Life - a new way of living, doing, being and learning.

Here, we focus on our people and our culture, which is unique - we seek individual development, without ever forgetting the well-being of all.

Our purpose is clear: to impact the world in a positive way.  This is the mission that makes us wake up every day with the will and energy to do more and better. Here, we are all pioneers.

Working at Nova SBE is not being afraid to create, propose or dream with new projects. If we fail, we will fail better next time. But if we get it right, we know that we have just built a little piece of the future for all different parties (students, community, corporate world).
