Get an entrepreneurial spirit
The stakes for the coming years will be outstanding, because they will be both global and local, disruptive, environmental, collaborative, societal, etc. and the training of new managers who know how to handle all those paradigms simultaneously, then becomes essential to meet those challenges. In this context, we strongly believe that driving innovation and boosting entrepreneurs at the national and international levels are essential. Therefore, we support KEDGE’s initiative in launching this MSc degree. Developing relevant skills will enable young people to get an entrepreneurial spirit, both to create a start-up and to drive in-companies transformation and innovation projects.
It is an excellent, professional and intense course!
The MSc Innovation, Transformation, Entrepreneurship was a revelation for me. Passionate about digital marketing and digital innovation, this MSc gave me all the professional skills and provided me with all the keys that enabled me to join a company in the LVMH group even before I graduated.
The major advantage of this course is not only the teaching by professionals in the field but also the dual vision of start-ups and large groups taught in each module.
During my year at the MSc ITE I had the chance to participate in various entrepreneurial projects, meet important players in the digitalisation of industries, join a community of committed women entrepreneurs: "The Wonders" and take part in a round table on gender parity in business in the presence of Minister Elisabeth Moreno. I am proud to have been a student of the first class of this MSc!

Open to innovation-driven culture
At Airbus Helicopters, we are leading a transformation process to do even better in our generating value activities. We are making use of the digital dimension as a genuine tool serving the company’s business lines in order to improve the customer relationship and the efficiency of our industrial processes. The aim is to co-build these changes, meaning to boost all stakeholders’ involvement, internally and externally. This digital transformation raises questions about skills, recruitment and in-house training. Faced with the challenge of a massive need for recruitment in the next 15 years of well-trained entrepreneurs, with strong initiative mindset and open to innovation-driven culture. In order to meet new challenges and build the future together, we support KEDGE’s initiative for this new Msc in Innovation, Digital Transformation and Entrepreneurship.
"I now feel ready for creating my own start-up, and help companies innovate"
As a young engineer, I wanted to better understand how business works, and how a technology can be brought successfully to the market. We live in a world that has to change fast : sustainability and digitalisation are a must, but companies struggle to keep up. I strongly believe that the solution is the path of innovation and entrepreneurship. During the year, I develop various innovative projects for major companies, but I also learnt how to build a business plan for financing my ideas, how to pitch my vision and how to succeed in the market. Thanks to this Master, and to the engagement of Kedge in sustainable development, I now feel ready for creating my own start-up, and helping companies innovate.

Provide companies with versatile and cross-disciplinary talents
In a highly regulated technological context, AI and Business Intelligence subjects are now found to have practical applications in companies in order to continue to give meaning to Data with an increased use of external expertise from consultancy firms. As a result, multi-skilled junior consultants are becoming a rare resource. It is therefore crucial to train rigorous, methodical collaborators with a business orientation who are sensitive to the problems and opportunities offered by Machine Learning. The specialisation offered by KEDGE perfectly meets this challenge. By combining the pedagogical excellence offered by its faculty with the relevance of practical case studies, this MSc will train the future Data Marketing consultants who will meet the expectations of firms in this field.
Strategies to convert businesses
Today, technology is at the heart of our clients' business, and their business and technology strategies are inseparable, if not indistinguishable. Data and artificial intelligence technologies are recognised as powerful levers to execute these strategies and transform the business.
To reap the full benefits of its data, the company must enable the relevant use of data within a controlled framework. To optimise its business processes, it must deploy artificial intelligence and automate activities wherever possible and relevant.
The talents arriving on the job market today, in addition to showing curiosity and agility, must understand the challenges of this transformation to imagine the company of tomorrow. They must master the technologies, understand their strengths and limitations in order to be able to implement them within their company in an ethical and responsible manner. Through the BI & ML master's programme, Kedge offers training that prepares students to address these issues.
Drive the change of tomorrow
Organisations are experiencing new sustainability challenges that need to be addressed. Until recently, these challenges could be solved by relying on organisational skills, but they are now getting increasingly complex and require agility and leadership skills, which is precisely what this MSc prepares you for as it seeks to drive the change of tomorrow.
A graduate degree in management in a way that would support my engineering background
“As an engineering undergraduate from India, I always wanted to pursue a graduate degree in management in a way that would support my engineering background. When I got to Toulon, I was not very fluent in French. But the International Relations team here helped me out right from the start in everything from welcome services to making sure my stay here in Toulon was comfortable. The professors here are simply the best I’ve ever had. We had frequent get-togethers with fellow French students in and around the campus – which was the best part of our intercultural integration for students from a variety of countries and cultures. Apart from the curriculum and the ultra-perfect facilities, the city itself is beautiful and unique. I am proud to be a student at KEDGE Business School Toulon.”
