Ecole Supérieure des Affaires

École Supérieure des Affaires is a renowned private business school based in the district of Clemenceau in Beirut, Lebanon. The institution offers specialization in management, executive, and business education through collaboration between the Paris Île-de-France Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Banque du Liban. It acts as a critical academic link between Europe and the vibrant economic environment of the Middle East. In addition, the urban setting of the campus provides a modern educational facility aimed at producing superior business leaders and strategies.

The business school was founded in 1996 as an outcome of an intergovernmental accord signed between France and Lebanon. It was led by diplomatic and academic personnel aimed at fostering cooperation between the two nations. Its inauguration ceremony was done by President of France Jacques Chirac and Prime Minister of Lebanon Rafic Hariri as a representation of its elite institutional status. Through time, the institution has developed its degree programs in affiliation with leading European business schools such as ESCP Business School. This has made the school a major center for training of corporate leadership.

However, ESA Business School continues to be a leading school when it comes to executive education and entrepreneurship not only in Lebanon but also in the whole region. By providing international accreditation, international guest lecturers, and tailor-made programs for business, ESA Business School equips its students to face challenging global environments. In addition, it is important to highlight that the institution plays an indispensable role in the attraction and development of talents and economic empowerment.
