Jean-Baptiste Say Institute

English[fr]

In 2017, the Entrepreneurship Chair, founded 10 years ago, became the Jean-Baptiste Say Institute. ESCP was a pioneering institute in teaching entrepreneurship.

Over the last 10 years the Entrepreneurship Chair has been developing an alternative method for teaching and understanding entrepreneurship.

With the support of its network of European researchers and entrepreneurs, the Jean-Baptiste Say Institute now aims to train entrepreneurs and leaders from around the world in entrepreneurship and, using the ESCP platform, provide them with a unique opportunity to access the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Europe.

A few words from
René Mauer,
Professor ESCP Business School
European Coordinator of the Jean-Baptiste Say Institute

ESCP Business School has been training and supporting entrepreneurs for two centuries. It has done so with its groundbreaking expertise. As early as 1819, Jean-Baptiste Say, a renowned economist and co-founder of the school, defined the word entrepreneur for the first time. Today, the Jean-Baptiste Say Institute is inventing new methods for teaching students how to be entrepreneurs in an uncertain world. It is no longer simply a matter of possessing knowledge, but of being able to question this knowledge in order to reinvent ourselves and transform the world around us.
