• IIM Kozhikode
• SPJIMR Mumbai

These collaborations will focus on areas such as AI, digital transformation, and governance, promoting knowledge exchange and joint research to address the challenges of a rapidly digitizing economy.

Major Campus Investments in Europe

To support its expanded academic portfolio, ESCP is investing €300 million in its European campuses. Key allocations include:

• €150 million for renovations at the Paris campus
• €70 million for a new campus in Madrid

These investments will modernize infrastructure and enhance the overall student experience.

Commitment to Scholarships and Accessibility

ESCP also plans to increase its €9 million scholarship fund, currently representing nearly 5% of the school’s revenue. This growth will be driven through contributions from alumni, the ESCP Foundation, and institutional partnerships, ensuring access to world-class education for a diverse student body.

With its bold expansion strategy, new academic schools, and strengthened global partnerships, ESCP Business School is reinforcing its position as a pioneer in international management education, blending technology, governance, and business expertise for the leaders of tomorrow.
