This is just the beginning

Graduating from the CIB is just the start of the most exciting adventure of your life.

What is afterCIB?

AfterCIB is how we showcase the achievements and successes of our CIBers to the world. At CIB, we deeply cultivate creativity and innovation, encouraging students to test, create, fail, and learn until they bring their ideas to life. This is how they embark on the journey of launching their own businesses, with a unique identity.

Through afterCIB, we give a voice and visibility to those who once chose us—and would choose us again. We reconnect, learning from their path to success, and showing future CIBers that with perseverance and the right education, anything is possible.
