The ESSEC Institute for Geopolitics & Business was created in 2024 to help companies and leaders navigate a world of geopolitical disruption, economic fragmentation, and strategic uncertainty. We examine how global power shifts transform business models, how firms are becoming geopolitical actors, and how corporate strategies must adapt to the end of business as usual. Rooted in ESSEC’s academic excellence, the Institute draws on three flagship centers: the IRENE Center for Negotiation & Mediation, the Center for Geopolitics, Defense & Leadership, and the Center for European Law & the Economy. Together, they bridge cutting-edge research, executive education, and strategic foresight. Our ambition: to empower geopolitics-fit leaders and build resilient, vigilant organizations for an age of global brutalization.* * *MISSION | EXPERTS | RESEARCH | EVENTS
