LBS  was founded in 2003 by Ronald S.Lauder, an internationally renowned entrepreneur, former US ambassador to Austria and current World Jewish Congress President, as a university of applied sciences with the aim of offering young people from East and West common educational possibilities in Central Europe.

The Austrian capital was chosen as a crossroad and a bridge between western and eastern traditions.

"The world’s economies have become interdependent and in order for them to function well, it will require skilled and talented young professionals who will become tomorrow’s business leaders," said Ronald Lauder.
