Innovation, transversality and commitment: the pillars of a Pôle Léonard de Vinci on the move

Hosted by the four school directors and Nicolas Glady, Managing Director of the Pôle Léonard de Vinci, the 4th Alumni Breakfast was an opportunity for alumni from the four schools to get together and share their experiences since joining EMLV, ESILV, IIM or De Vinci Executive Education.

At the heart of the discussions, the Pôle stated its ambition: to prepare students and professionals to meet today's challenges. This clear vision is supported by two structuring pillars: transversality and CSR. To achieve this, the schools are committed to offering innovative, hybrid programs in tune with the changing professional world.

Innovation, excellence and adaptation: schools in action as the professional world changes

At EMLV, this dynamic translates into innovation-oriented research, with the mission of meeting the challenges of a world in perpetual motion - as Duc Nguyen puts it.

At ESILV, Pascal Pinot presented the major innovations to come for the start of the 2025-2026 academic year: three new majors will be offered to engineering students in the engineering cycle. These are Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence, Sustainable Industry, and Eco-Innovation and Sustainable Design.

As for IIM Digital School, Lidija NIKOLIC is proud to point out that it has obtained a number of certifications, and has made it into the world's top 10, Europe's top 8 and France's top 5. For the first time, the IIM has been included in the GAMEducation 2025 ranking of the world's top video game schools, reaffirming its position among the best European and French schools.

For its part, De Vinci Executive Education, headed by Philippe Guerinet, continues to enrich its offering with targeted courses for executives and professionals. In step with economic change, it develops tailor-made programs around leadership, digital transition and CSR - all levers to support organizations in their strategic challenges, with agility and innovation.

Alumni committed to shaping the school's future

Today's alumni, drawn from the classes of 1997 to 2008 and from a wide range of professional backgrounds, hold key positions or are company directors in diverse sectors such as tech, construction, media and consulting. Drawing on this diversity of experience and their attachment to their school, their desire to get involved in the Pôle's strategic reflections, in order to contribute to the development and ongoing adaptation of the schools, bears witness to a valuable commitment - an inspiring dynamic that holds promise for the future.
