Marseille: A sustainability and entrepreneurship-focused programme
From March 25th to April 6th, KEDGE Business School hosted 27 MSc International Business and Finance students from Newcastle University Business School- NUBS on the Marseille campus as part of the Tailor-Made programme on the theme of Sustainability & Entrepreneurship.
As its name suggests, this unique programme is tailor-made in order to meet the needs of students. This short-term programme is fully developed by KEDGE Business School: academic content, logistic and organisational support.
To start the week off on a positive note, students enjoyed a friendly welcome breakfast and got to explore the Marseille campus. In terms of pedagogy, they attended classes on Leadership & Communication Skills, Sustainable Entrepreneurship, and Business Model Design For Entrepreneurs International Seminar with professors Inès Guttierrez, Dejan Zec et Katia Richomme Huet.
From theory to reality, to immerse themselves in the French business model, the students had the opportunity to meet Marie-Alfie Dallest, co-founder of the start-up MAO BOA dedicated to the development of corporate CSR initiatives. Additionally, NUBS students had the chance to visit Epopée Village, a company focused on talent development.
To wrap up their stay, cultural and relaxation activities were arranged, including a panoramic bus tour of Marseille followed by a warm farewell dinner at the old port.

Paris: Seeking innovation for the MBA
Originating from the same university, a group of about fifteen participants from the Executive MBA programme had the opportunity to take part in a "learning expedition" seminar dedicated to innovation from March 25 to 28. This is a contemporary pedagogical format allowing participants to explore outside the scope of their own companies. Over four days in Paris, the participants had the chance to visit companies or large corporations renowned for their innovation initiatives such as L’Oreal Tech Lab and Fnac-Darty. They also had the opportunity to engage with Alstom leader Michel Haddad and to participate in several inspiring conferences and case studies led by KEDGE Business School professors Dr. Christophe Garonne and Dr. Herve Remaud.
