About MILE

The Madinah Institute for Leadership and Entrepreneurship was established in 2009 as a corporate social responsibility initiative by the Savola Group and Knowledge Economic City, under the supervision of the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority. In 2020, the Institute was transformed into an independent endowment-based organization operating under the supervision of the General Authority for Awqaf.

The Institute aims to develop senior leaders and top executives, with a primary focus on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a broader reach across the Arab and Islamic worlds, through the delivery of advanced, tailor-made programs designed to address the strategic needs of executive leadership.

Since its inception, the Institute has been committed to designing and delivering pioneering executive education programs that have contributed to shaping a distinguished cadre of leaders who now occupy influential positions across government entities, leading private-sector organizations, and non-profit institutions in more than 25 countries.

From the outset, the Institute has adopted a benchmark model aligned with programs offered by some of the world’s most prestigious universities and institutes, such as Harvard, INSEAD, and Cambridge. Its programs are delivered through strategic partnerships with internationally recognized academics, experts, and consultants, ensuring the highest standards of quality and sustainable value creation.
