Following its success and recognition by the Chinese government in the field of higher education, KEDGE was approached by the China  Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) to set up a new Sino-French Institute in the innovative field of Arts and Design Management. The primary objective of this Institute is to train Chinese art students in management skills for a booming Chinese cultural market.
