Joint EDHEC and IBM project shortlisted for Innovation in Business Education Award

A pioneering partnership to meet industry needs and provide forward-thinking education

EDHEC’s partnership with IBM fosters collaboration between business faculty and IBM technology experts in emerging fields like AI, blockchain, IoT, Cloud, and Quantum computing.

Offered since 2017 to a growing number of applicants, the Global MBA’s Digital Innovation specialisation includes learning treks, conferences, applied projects, and more with the goal of bridging the gap between managers and engineers, opening minds to the power of technology. The programme also promotes diversity and women in tech through various conferences, events, and group mentoring. With this ground-breaking approach, EDHEC has grown employment opportunities in the tech world and increased placement in technology firms and roles.

“We have put a lot of emphasis on applied learning in the Global MBA at EDHEC. This partnership with IBM is testimony of our faculty's ability to work closely with businesses to ensure that our curriculum is relevant and up to date - so our students graduate with the latest knowledge from an industry leader in a rapidly evolving field.” explained Sandra Richez, GMBA programme director.
