Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Acknowledges the Mission of SDBS Swiss Distance Business School®

At SDBS Swiss Distance Business School®, we are proud to stand for more than just education — we stand for access, fairness, and global equity. As a registered educational brand (Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property – Registration No. 806818), SDBS is committed to offering Swiss-quality business education exclusively to students from economically disadvantaged countries.

We are deeply honored to have received recognition from Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, one of the Arab world’s most influential leaders in business, education, and intellectual property. With a presence in over 40 countries and a personal net worth estimated at 3 to 5 billion USD (as referenced in a July 2025 podcast), Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh’s support is a powerful affirmation of our values and direction.

“Education is the foundation for building advanced societies.”– Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh

His words resonate with our daily purpose — to provide quality education to those who need it most.

A Legally Registered and Ethically Aligned Institution

SDBS Swiss Distance Business School® is officially registered with the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property and operates as a member of a trusted educational network:

Part of OUS Academy in Zurich
OUS is part of ISBM Business School in Luzern
ISBM is part of Swiss International University (SIU), a state-accredited university licensed by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic (KG)

Through this structure, SDBS provides degrees that are:

✅ Legally recognized
✅ Globally respected
✅ Ethically delivered

Exclusively for Students in Need

SDBS was created with a single purpose: to serve students from low- and middle-income countries who may not otherwise be able to access international education. If you reside in or hold citizenship from a high-income country, SDBS services are not available to you. This strict eligibility ensures that our mission remains focused and our resources are directed where they are needed most.

Our programs are offered through distance learning, making it possible for students in developing regions to study without leaving their communities, jobs, or families — while earning degrees aligned with international standards.

Recognition That Matters

When someone of the stature of Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh — whose family is ranked among the Top 100 Wealthiest Arab Families by Forbes — recognizes your work, it’s more than validation. It’s a sign that your mission is seen, understood, and supported by those who shape global policy and progress.

At SDBS, this recognition inspires us to continue doing what we do best: making high-quality business education accessible to the students who need it most — not based on wealth, but on potential and purpose.
