The Market and the Ministry
Compare two ways to build a business in Europe. This ten-day London and Paris MBA immersion explores how markets, public investment and local institutions influence funding, innovation and growth.
Compare How London and Paris Shape Business Decisions
Travel from London’s market-led business ecosystem to Paris, where public investment and industrial strategy play a prominent role. This connected MBA experience examines common strategic questions across two different business environments.
Through practitioner discussions, professional learning sessions and guided fieldwork, teams build a Comparative Ledger of their observations. Use the evidence to develop and defend a recommendation on where a company should invest, locate or expand.
Follow Capital and Its Incentives
Compare venture capital, financial markets and investor expectations in London with public investment and industrial priorities in Paris. Examine how different funding models influence company decisions.
Investigate Different Approaches to Innovation
Explore commercial AI, fintech and digital transformation alongside French approaches to technological sovereignty, startup support and the energy transition. Consider how institutions and regulation shape opportunity.
Assess Purpose and Lasting Value
Connect impact investing and social enterprise with luxury management and heritage. Compare how organisations protect specialist knowledge, measure outcomes and make decisions across different time horizons.
