ESSEC, a committed school
In order to inspire new forms of leadership, ESSEC’s RISE strategy is structured around three pillars.
Sustainability and social change
Recognizing the pressing need for action, ESSEC has made ecological and social concerns the cornerstones of its strategy through the Together initiative, launched in October 2020. This comprehensive roadmap enables us to take proactive measures across key areas such as our teaching and research, the transformation of our campus, as well as our governance and operations.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Building on its long tradition of entrepreneurship, exemplified in the establishment of the ESSEC Ventures incubator in 2000, the school has chosen to further strengthen its ecosystem to foster entrepreneurship and innovation. Leveraging its strong partnerships and network of excellence, ESSEC is able to offer ever more comprehensive programs, educational experiences, and support to students eager to embark on an entrepreneurial adventure.

Within this framework, ESSEC is deploying efforts across four key fronts: pioneering innovative educational programs; leveraging technology in research endeavors by our faculty; forging alliances with industrial and public partners; and informing the public conversation on the matter.
