KEDGE awarded third place for impact, innovation and the dynamism of its corporate relations

At the 1st edition of the Agires Développement and Synergie Campus Entreprises Awards, which took place at the beginning of June in Paris, KEDGE won 3rd place in the Business School category. This award aims to highlight impact, innovation and dynamism in relations between institutes of higher education and companies.

We are delighted to be one of the top three business schools in this ranking, which is indicative of the solid links that KEDGE has created with its partner companies. KEDGE sets itself apart with its new modes of partnership, by mixing company executives and students in common workshops, KEDGE enhances its teaching by breaking the silos of initial and executive education, in order to develop innovation and support change”, declares Christophe Mouysset, KEDGE’s Director of Corporate Relations.

These awards are given to the best institutes of higher education by category: engineering schools, business schools, universities and other institutions of higher education. For this first year, 105 companies, both members of Synergie Campus Entreprises and ones identified by schools belonging to Agires Développement as potentially being eligible, voted in April and May.
