Besides its core facilities in Toulouse, the Leadership University consists of a unique global hub system to provide tailored development and learning solutions for the Group’s current and future leaders.

“We are preparing the future by developing our current and prospective leaders for the changing world and that means being fast, digital and innovative”, said Tom Enders, Airbus Group Chief Executive Officer. “We expect our leaders to be ready ‘for what’s next’. We want them to be more connected, inspired and inspiring, open-minded, curious as well as leading and developing their teams to collective success.
