At their Entrepreneurship Festival, ESCP announces the founding of the Jean-Baptiste Say Institute for Entrepreneurship, whose purpose is to offer a European alternative to the American academic model.

The Jean-Baptiste Say Institute will replace the Entrepreneurship Chair, which was created 10 years ago by ESCP, to accelerate its action-plans on its 6 European campuses, and to prepare tomorrow’s managers for profound changes in the world of work.

Since its creation, the ChairEEEE has been supported by corporate partners. This is still the case for the Institute which is supported by EY and CPME.
