New Digital Innovation track

Artificial intelligence occupies a central role in EDHEC’s Global MBA programme, as witnessed by the creation of a new Digital Innovation specialisation track co-produced with IBM France.

The track is built around:

• 3 weeks of classes focusing on digital transformation, managing change, the history and present of artificial intelligence, and design thinking. Classes enable participants to deepen their knowledge of technical concepts like blockchain, hybrid cloud and machine learning with experts from IBM France.
