As part of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City’s (RCRC) efforts to strengthen Riyadh’s position as a global creative hub, Istituto Marangoni announced the inauguration of its first campus in Saudi Arabia at the Creative District in King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), becoming the district’s first international partner.

Istituto Marangoni, founded more than 90 years ago in Milan, is one of the world’s most prestigious academic institutions specializing in fashion, design, and luxury brand management. The institute also operates campuses in leading cities such as Paris, London, and Miami.

The opening of the institute’s first campus in Saudi Arabia comes as part of a strategic collaboration between RCRC and the Fashion Commission of the Ministry of Culture. This partnership aims to develop advanced educational programs that empower local talent, meet the aspirations of Saudi designers and creatives, and support the growth of the creative economy in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
