The inaugural forum, held at ESSEC in Paris in November 2012, focused on Corporate Governance and Leadership.

The 2014 forum was hosted by Keio Business School in Tokyo and focused on Health Care Delivery.

Instead of the exchange term, the program exceptionally allows students to have a further semester at Mannheim with a special curriculum focusing on international course load and business ethics.

Besides the strong international outlay due to the integrated exchange semester, internationality and cross-cultural learning is emphasized by obligatory language tracks in the course curriculum (Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, Korean or Portuguese tracks possible) and 70% of courses held in English.

International exchange programs, comparable to those at undergraduate level (while not mandatory), also allow for cross-cultural cooperation and learning.
