Generation Africa
Open up Africa’s golden opportunities for business
Generation Africa is a premium executive certificate for senior executives and entrepreneurs who wish to expand and diversify their global footprint. Blending a financial, legal, and cultural approach, it will either sharpen your business development skills or entrepreneurial spirit towards the fastest-growing and most dynamic continent in the world: Africa. With a young and growing urbanized population, abundant natural resources and a rapidly growing middle class, the continent generates many growing business opportunities.
Join a community of global leaders and experts connected to Africa
ESSEC Business School has strong ties and in-depth expertise in Africa and our African campus, based in Rabat (Morocco) has opened its doors in 2017. We have since gained countless business experiences throughout the five African subregions, building bridges between the continent and the rest of the world. In doing so, our world-school with French roots has considerably deepened its international stature in combination with our Paris and Singapore campuses.
