ESCP Business School

By becoming an autonomous legal entity in January 2018, ESCP's main objective became its financial autonomy, in a context marked by a concentration of "Business Schools" on a global scale. To this end, the school developed, in close collaboration with its main shareholder, a 2018-2022 strategic plan for the first five years of autonomous management. This "Brand & Size" strategic plan aimed to strengthen ESCP BS's brand and enable it to reach a critical size and a financial base reflecting the attractiveness of its new programmes. This plan also prepared the school to enter its third century of existence.

The school has launched its new 2023-2025 strategic plan "Choice & Experiences", which focuses firstly on the excellence of the experiences offered to its community and secondly on the transition to a Lifelong learning approach, a major innovation of this plan. Its success depends on the achievement of several key factors, including reaching the milestone of 10,000 students on six campuses, a target originally planned for 2030. This plan is to be accompanied by unprecedented investments and a radical transformation of the infrastructure. Aware of the challenge of increasing student numbers, the school is planning a major expansion of campus programmes, continued admissions of international students, and major investment in faculty on all campuses.
