Founded at ESSEC Business School, we anticipate geopolitical chocs on businesses and we watch for firms playing geostrategy. Designed as a tricontinental institute, we operate from Paris, Singapore & Rabat, levering on ESSEC's international footprint.

We bring together ESSEC experts from the IRENE Center for Negotation & Mediation, the Center for Geopolitics, Defense & Leadership, the Center for European Law and the Economy and the Chair for Business & Industry in Africa.

The ESSEC Institute for Geopolitics & Business convenes researchers in economics, management science and political science to shed light on the shifting international order that turns globalization apart and reshapes geoeconomics as well as corporate strategy.

The Institute facilitates high-level converstions between business leaders, public decision makers and academia to discuss how geopolitical disruptions transform the global economy and require new forms of leadership at the board and the executive committee.
