emlyon business school and Ashoka announce the signing of an ambitious partnership to train a new generation of entrepreneurs for change. The partnership, initially signed for a duration of three years, aims to enhance educational curricula on social entrepreneurship within emlyon, design experiential learning opportunities, and feed research work on the subject. 

emlyon business school is consolidating its international presence with 20 new academic partnerships and the creation of four double degrees. A strategy of educational openness in line with the Resonances 2028 plan, marked by a European refocusing and a responsible vision of mobility. 

In an era shaped by accelerating digital transformation, urgent climate challenges, and ongoing geopolitical tensions, businesses face increasingly complex commercial landscapes requiring innovative solutions. To address this, emlyon business school gives its MSc in Global Sales Excellence students direct exposure to real-world business environments. Each year, students take part in an immersive international seminar to analyze commercial ecosystems, connect with industry professionals, meet global companies, and discover technological innovations in relations to sales. This annual seminar is a major highlight of their academic journey.

In an era where professional growth and continuous learning are increasingly essential, platforms that foster dialogue, collaboration, and recognition take on particular importance. The MERIT Summit, held on 5-6 June 2025 at emlyon business school’s innovation-driven campus in Lyon, brings together leaders from education, business, and talent development. The event provides a space to explore new ideas, connect with global experts, and engage with the future of executive education and entrepreneurship.
