Created in 2024 by ESSEC, the Institute for Geopolitics & Business examines how geopolitical shocks reshape companies’ economic models. Based across ESSEC Business School’s campuses in France, Morocco, and Singapore, it brings a tri-continental perspective to what drives corporate competitiveness in the post-globalization era: vigilance, resilience, independence. It feeds into ESSEC’s degree programs, executive education, and research to foster a new generation of geopolitics-proof business leaders capable of steering and growing companies amid an increasingly brutalized world. Rooted in ESSEC’s academic excellence, the Institute draws on 4 flagship centers: the IRENE Center for Negotiation & Mediation, the Center for Geopolitics, Defense & Leadership, the Center for European Law & Economics, and the Chair Business & Industry in Africa.* * *MISSION | EXPERTS | RESEARCH | EVENTS
