At GEM, we aim to go beyond education and research. Through our ability to develop and share knowledge on the management of technology and innovation, we offer a durable path for organizations to develop, prosper and foster peace. Thus, we would like to provide inspiration for the worlds of education and business as well as all of our partners, including first and foremost, the society we live in.
Our ambition: to be the leading school for business for society
Originally created to meet the needs of regional actors in the fields of innovation, sciences and technology, our school quickly stood out thanks to its abilities to innovate, to create unexpected alliances, and to expand into new regions and expertises beyond the reaches of traditional business schools.
Today, we continue to lead the way by focusing on major societal challenges. Our commitment in terms of responsibility and benevolence guides us in our collaboration with all of our partners in order to build a flourishing and peaceful world. As a Business Lab for Society, a center for business school research, we are working to become a reference point for business schools seeking to create a responsible society.
