Established in 1976, Fundação Dom Cabral (FDC) is a world-class Brazilian business school that develops strategic-thinking skills of executives, entrepreneurs and public-sector managers.[1] FDC, a nonprofit institution,[2] was created out of the Extension Center at the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais (Brazil).

Approximately 35,000 executives from midsize and large companies attend FDC programs every year – on business-school campuses in the cities of Nova Lima and Belo Horizonte (MG), São Paulo (SP) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ).[3]
