France – Global Business Education, Innovation & Culture

Institut Mines-Telecom Business School is the Business School of the IMT group, the leading group of engineering and management schools in France.

A management school with a responsible approach to digital transformation

IMT-BS trains innovative managers and entrepreneurs who are open to the world and who will guide organizations through the digital, energy, and ecological, economic, and industrial transitions that will be at the heart of tomorrow’s society.

Drawing on the relevance of its research and educational programs, its support to innovation and entrepreneurship, its proximity to companies, and its strong links with the local community, Institut Mines-Telecom Business School strives for excellence in order to contribute to national and local economic development and to create value for all its stakeholders.

IMT-BS shares its campus with the engineering school Télécom SudParis, also a member of the IMT.

IMT-BS welcomes 1,500 students, is annually ranked among the best French and European business schools, and is AACSB and AMBA accredited.

The Business School of social inclusion

A leading public management school under the authority of the Ministry of the Economy, IMT-BS is the Business School of social inclusion. It provides its students with an exceptional ratio between the cost of education, the level of salary upon hiring, and the ability to find a job quickly and over the long term.

Our mission

Mixing cultures

In 1979, the former Institut National des Télécommunications began training the engineers and managers from France Télécom (today known as Orange) on the same campus. As the two different business cultures started mixing together and sharing their work, new synergies began to emerge. Today, this hybrid approach remains the driving force behind our Business School at Institut Mines-Telecom, France’s leading engineering school group.

Helping our students achieve their full potential

Institut Mines-Telecom Business School has always been at the forefront of digital and societal transformations. As a public and socially inclusive higher education institution, we take great pride in welcoming and individually supporting students from a wide range of backgrounds. We help them develop the inter-communication skills and personal qualities required for a successful future in a constantly changing world.

Bringing talents together

Technology is accelerating the transformation of the world as we know it, meaning that business organizations have to be more agile, open, and increasingly horizontal in the way they work. They, therefore, need talented, responsibly-minded individuals who are capable of taking initiative and inspiring experts from different fields to work together.

At IMT-BS, this is our mission. We aim to equip each individual talent with the knowledge and skills to make a key contribution to collective change for a more responsible world.

Our values

• Boldness through its methodological innovations and its training for entrepreneurship in all its forms.
• Excellence in its research and the recognition of its graduates in the labor market.
• Openness by the diversity of its students, by the role of companies in its curriculum, and by its openness to the world.
• Responsibility through its work on ethics and its commitments to all its stakeholders.

Uniting skills

A baseline at the heart of digital challenges signature Uniting Skills - IMT-BS

• Uniting skills is above all about reasserting one of the School’s main differences and strengths: a place where engineers and managers meet, in a close relationship the School has organized and fostered since it was founded.
• Uniting skills is also a buzzword common to the students, faculty, and all partners of the School: undertaking and putting to work their complementary areas of expertise, a key factor in a changing world.

Establishing schools in the heart of cities where the global economy is created and plays out is a major asset for the career of our students; and has been a strategic guideline of ours for over 40 years. INSEEC has top class campuses in France in the heart of major cities like Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon and Chambéry but in the spirit of a true great international school our students can study in London, Monaco, Geneva, Abidjan and San Francisco.

Our modern lifestyle relies on raw materials. From the iron and steel of our railway infrastructure to the gold and silver in the circuitry of smartphones: raw materials are everywhere. Even the transition to a climate-neutral future requires cobalt for electric vehicles, lithium for rechargeable batteries, silicon for photovoltaics and solar panels, and rare earth elements for wind turbines that generate renewable energy

As the world grows smaller and more hyper-connected, the impact of society on the Earth has never been more visible. It is now clear that we need to shift to a circular economy to responsibly use the Earth’s finite resources. But what can just one individual do to help? More than you think!
