We are ESDES

My favorite thing about ESDES is the diversity of the faculty: international staff, professionals, research professors, coaches…

ESDES is committed to professionalization, cultural diversity on campus, providing an international outlook, a dynamic student experience – especially involvement in associations – and good infrastructure and facilities… All the ingredients to make sure our time at ESDES is a success!

We are trying to basically prove why the information and make the students familiar with the international business is really important for the future of these students. Maybe, they are going to work in international companies or they are interested in being entrepreneur and basically doing business with other countries. So, this would be like the basic and the first step for them. There are a lot of potential and opportunities especially because of the current situation of the world, with the inflation and everything after post-covid. And a lot of markets, for example what I’m speaking about, emerging markets, they have opportunities for growth and for doing business which would be very important for the future of Europe if they want to basically avoid any sort of stagnation and recession.

To continue on the path of sustainable innovation, we will need to rely on qualified resources and we are convinced that future ESDES graduates will be able to contribute to our development.

Gattefossé makes 75% of its turnover from exports (in 80 countries through 12 affiliates and 50 distributors). The company is involved a lot in sustainable innovation. Its roadmap concerning social responsibility relies on 3 pillars : 

• Preserving our environment
• Taking care of our collaborators
• Acting as a global citizen

Its commitment has been recognized through the certificate ISO 14001 and is awarded the Platinum level by Ecovadis for its exemplarity in terms of CSR.

From his time at ESDES, Louis remembers … Memories from abroad, friends of course, but also a solid background of varied skills, all of which are necessary in the day-to-day running of his company. Being able to talk to a lawyer, a salesman, a banker, a marketing manager etc. are major assets when you are developing a company. Without necessarily being an expert, you have to be able to make yourself understood, make certain decisions and evaluate results.

From her time at ESDES, Anne-Sophie remembers… a sense of values and the ability to innovate. The passion transmitted by the teachers, as well as the groupwork, have forged a solid entrepreneurial culture.

From his time at ESDES, Simon remembers… a sense of attentiveness, sharing and team-building and all the skills necessary for developing your own business: accounting, corporate finance, law, marketing, project management…. We use everything: from theory to sharing experiences. Everything you need to grow!

I chose Esdes over other business schools in France, for an MSc in Circular Economy, because after reviewing each school’s courses, Esdes was the only school that provides a 360° view of sustainability and Circular Economy

Wastes are a business on any markets where there are still wastes. Intern in a shop specialized in swimming pool materials, I just realized the opportunity to reuse, remake and renew the full range of swimming pool robots and motorized tools. We created L Local Piscine in 2020, with over 200% of growth we are convinced that the second-hand market will emerge as a natural way to equip personal pools. Circular economy is the key on both economic and ecological issues.

The ESDES Enactus program allows us to develop our interpersonal, managerial and entrepreneurial skills through a unique experience! I loved playing a part in addressing society’s challenges by thinking up creative and cooperative projects.

At Andros Asia we are looking for the leaders and managers of tomorrow. We are building business and teams are very young but it’s not an issue because we chose good profiles, especially with an experience of studies overseas. It usually makes the difference.

That’s why we decided to send some students we have selected into the Bachelor and Master Program of ESDES, in partnership with the University of Economics and Law in HCMC.

The program provide necessary skills and knowledge for sure but the global context and multicultural environment are the keys! Because it brings to them the values and the mindset of leadership that we need in international companies like Andros in Vietnam. We are looking for people who can transform the company and able to bring value, creating new jobs and fulfill new scopes of work.

Studying in france during 1 to 3 years is also the opportunity for us to build a real program for the student: we call it the Young Talent Program: the company pay a part of the tuition fees and build a program of internship at headquarter in France .

And we are very satisfied because it makes very talented profiles, flexible and open towards the world, fast execution with ability to integrate teams in Vietnam immediately after studies with a real mission and tasks.
