A school with a unique history and vision
Founded in 1950, EDC Paris Business School – École des Dirigeants et Créateurs d’Entreprise is the oldest private institution to be a member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles in France. Since 2017, it has been part of the Grupo Planeta. With a heritage of collective autonomy — the school having been owned by its alumni for twenty years — it combines academic tradition with entrepreneurial modernity to train profiles capable of meeting the challenges of today’s professional world.
A school focused in entrepreneurship, innovation and action
EDC Paris is much more than a traditional institution: it positions itself as a dynamic learning hub, centered on applied research, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Its programs are guided by the pedagogical framework DIVE (Developer, Innovator, Value creator, Entrepreneur), which reflects its mission: to train humanistic leaders, capable of designing innovative and responsible strategies in a constantly changing global environment. The school emphasizes action-based learning, supported by its research laboratory — OCRE — which places academic research at the service of professional practice.
Areas of knowledge
The school offers a broad and diverse academic portfolio, ranging from the Bachelor in Management to the Grande École Program, along with specialized MSc programs, Executive programs, and targeted certificates. These programs cover key areas of expertise such as business development, innovation, entrepreneurship, digital transformation, luxury and sports management, finance, data, supply chain, and management control. It also provides hybrid and customizable formats, with opportunities for work-study programs, internationally oriented specializations, and personalized support — notably through a business incubator and soft skills workshops. Thanks to these resources, EDC ensures rapid employability: the majority of its graduates secure key positions in strategic sectors immediately after completing their studies
