At RDT, we believe engineering is ultimately about people. Technical excellence reaches its full potential only when it is supported by curiosity, knowledge and outstanding leadership.
Our purpose, Enjoy Engineering, reflects that belief. We want engineers to grow, lead, innovate and enjoy creating solutions that make a lasting impact.
That is why becoming a Partner Company of IESE Business School is not the beginning of a new direction for RDT, but the natural continuation of a vision that has guided us for years: investing in people as the driving force behind engineering excellence.
The partnership was officially announced during the Partner Companies & Donors' Day 2026, held at IESE's Barcelona campus, bringing together organisations that share a common ambition: creating a more innovative, sustainable and responsible future through knowledge and leadership.
Joining the IESE Partner Companies community reflects our commitment to continuous learning, meaningful collaboration and the conviction that engineering excellence depends as much on people as it does on technology. It also provides an opportunity to contribute our engineering mindset, entrepreneurial spirit and international perspective to a community shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
A shared vision for the future
For both RDT and IESE, developing leadership is not an objective in itself. It is a way of enabling people and organisations to make better decisions, drive innovation and create lasting value.
At RDT, we believe that the future of engineering will be shaped not only by technological advances, but by the people capable of leading them with vision, responsibility and purpose.
This partnership reinforces our commitment to fostering an environment where talent can grow, curiosity is encouraged, and leadership becomes a catalyst for innovation and sustainable progress.
"Engineering has always been about solving complex challenges. But the organisations that will shape the future will be those capable of combining technical excellence with leadership, curiosity and a commitment to continuous learning. Becoming a Partner Company of IESE is therefore much more than a collaboration for RDT. It is a natural reflection of who we are, what we believe in and the kind of organisation we aspire to be. We are proud to join a community that shares our conviction that investing in people is the most valuable investment any company can make."
Engineering needs leadership. Leadership is not an end in itself. It enables better engineers., stronger organisations, and a greater positive impact on society.
As we begin this new chapter alongside one of the world's leading business schools, we look forward to contributing to a community where business, academia and innovation come together to develop the leaders who will shape the future of engineering, technology and industry.
Because technology alone will never shape the future. People will.
