The Geopolitics and Business Master’s program at the Rennes School of Business offers highly skilled training in two specializations: strategic intelligence and influence.
Against a backdrop of systemic upheaval and the rebirth of cultural and political identities, the program aims to train leaders who can anticipate future risks with a visionary mindset and, above all, seize new business opportunities.
Thanks to the expertise of top executives, geopolitical experts and investors, it is sponsored by two companies: Risk & Ops and Summit of Minds. Program Director: Dr Thomas FLICHY DE LA NEUVILLE
I chose the Master in Geopolitics and Business for a simple reason: direct access to professional development opportunities with high added value! It focuses on three key elements of the upcoming era: identity renaissance, the digitization of the world and reconnection with nature, a source of inspirational regeneration.
