Ecole Supérieure des Affaires (ESA Business School)

École Supérieure des Affaires (ESA Business School) is one of the prominent private business schools located in the Clemenceau area of Beirut, Lebanon. ESA Business School is managed through the collaboration of Paris Île-de-France Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry along with the Banque du Liban. The institution provides specialized courses in management, executive, and business education. It serves as a significant medium for cross-cultural educational exchanges whereby the European knowledge base is combined with the fast-paced economy of the Middle East region.

The institution of ESA was founded in 1996 under an intergovernmental agreement between France and Lebanon through the efforts of diplomatic and academic luminaries for facilitating bilateral cooperation. It was officially inaugurated by the then French President Jacques Chirac and Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, signifying the significance and institutional stature of the institution. Throughout the years, ESA has diversified its degrees under academic affiliation with some prominent European business institutions including the ESCP Business School and gained prominence as a leading institution for corporate leadership education.
