"The Renault Foundation's social commitments for the access to education in many countries are values that we have shared at ESSEC for many years now, particularly through our initiatives within the Centre Egalité des Chances. But this partnership is also a unique opportunity for us to offer our students the ability to enrich their skills, beyond international management, in technological, digital and mobility management, which will help to make them the leaders of tomorrow in their organizations. With the Renault Foundation, we have built a unique path that draws on several components: managerial, societal, economic, entrepreneurial, and digital”.
