As part of its CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policy, KEDGE has put in place measures to meet its commitment to equal treatment and opportunities. This includes encouraging and supporting students from difficult backgrounds (exclusion, precariousness, dropping out of school, priority neighborhoods, unemployment, etc.).

KEDGE, which has been involved in entrepreneurship for several years, is committed to this socially inclusive approach withthe "Ecole Entrepreneuriale", supported by numerous partners.

What is the Entrepreneurial School?

L'Ecole Entrepreneuriale is an equal opportunity program that facilitates access to higher education and helps students turn their projects into reality. The 3-year program is available on the Marseille, Bordeaux and Paris campuses.

Today, 54 students are supported via the Entrepreneurial School, and we already have our first graduates: Dina Sabitova, Audrey Lobono, Eric Lahaye and Aby Rene! 👏

A significant new contribution! At the Comex meeting on June 13, it was unanimously decided to allocate a budget of €70, 000 to support this project. This donation is the fruit of the commitment of the GIFI company, the Denibam Foundation and the Compagnie Fruitière Endowment Fund. ✨

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to the members of the Executive Committee for their commitment to students and academic research, through the KEDGE Foundation. We would also like to thank all our alumni donors, because thanks to your donations, the KEDGE Foundation is able to finance projects that enable students to pursue their studies with complete peace of mind.
