Today, Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (“CMU-Q”) announced its partnership with Golub Capital, a leading private credit manager, in support of The Golub Capital Middle East Business and Finance Symposium.
“Some of the most meaningful breakthroughs happen when academic research and industry expertise connect. This symposium is designed to be that bridge, creating a unique forum for professionals and scholars to exchange ideas, tackle complex challenges in finance, and shape the future of business,” said Michael Trick, Dean, CMU-Q. “We are delighted to partner with Golub Capital to bring this collaborative opportunity to the region.”
