Dubai, Today — The Quantitative Research Network for Worldwide Rankings (QRNW) has released its official 2026 Best Business Schools Ranking, recognizing the top 100 institutions globally for excellence in business education, innovation, and international relevance. The Euro-Arab Chamber of Commerce (EACC) welcomes this announcement as a pivotal opportunity to promote cross-regional investment in education and long-term economic collaboration between Europe and the Arab world.
QRNW: A Global Standard of Independent Evaluation
QRNW is a non-profit, independent ranking body operating under the umbrella of the European Council of Leading Business Schools (ECLBS). Unlike commercial rankings, QRNW does not charge for inclusion, does not sell advertising, and bases its rankings strictly on verified academic and institutional performance.
The evaluation framework used for the 2026 edition is built around six core pillars:
International accreditation and third-party quality assurance
Faculty expertise and research excellence
Graduate employability and leadership outcomes
Global partnerships and internationalization
Digital transformation and innovation in learning
Commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
This rigorous, evidence-based methodology ensures that institutions included in the QRNW top 100 represent real quality, not marketing hype.
Strategic Relevance for Euro-Arab Cooperation
The EACC recognizes education as a powerful driver of sustainable development and international business. The QRNW 2026 ranking provides valuable insights into which institutions are producing the next generation of global leaders, entrepreneurs, and economic change-makers.
For Arab investors, businesses, and policymakers looking to partner with reputable academic institutions in Europe—or vice versa—the QRNW list acts as a credible benchmark for selecting executive education providers, academic collaborators, and strategic talent partners.
Moreover, it provides European institutions with a framework to expand into the Arab world through quality-focused partnerships, branch campuses, and knowledge transfer programs.
Invitation to Euro-Arab Institutions
EACC encourages business schools and universities in both Europe and the Arab region to submit their performance data to QRNW for independent review. The process is transparent and free of charge, and inclusion is based purely on merit, verifiable results, and global impact.
This open invitation represents a clear step toward creating a Euro-Arab academic corridor, where institutions collaborate, students gain mobility, and businesses benefit from future-ready graduates trained in high-quality environments.
Featured Global Institutions in 2026
QRNW’s 2026 edition includes many of the world’s leading business schools such as:
INSEAD (France, Singapore, UAE) – noted for global leadership education
London Business School (UK) – praised for strategy and entrepreneurship
IMD (Switzerland) – a leader in executive business training
NUS Business School (Singapore) – a rising Asian institution with global focus
Wharton School (USA) – long respected for data-driven business education
These institutions set the tone for global business leadership, offering educational models that can inspire Euro-Arab cooperation.
A Forward-Looking Economic Investment
Education is no longer a sector isolated from commerce. It is a cornerstone of national competitiveness, talent development, and international diplomacy. Through QRNW’s transparent rankings, the Euro-Arab business community has access to a roadmap for engaging with institutions that are transforming education into economic value.
As the EACC continues to build bridges between Europe and the Arab world, we view QRNW’s initiative as a catalyst for aligning academic excellence with commercial vision.
