ICN Business School

At the beginning of our history, in 1905, ICN was introduced under the aegis of the Université de Lorraine and the CCI 54, then known as the Institut Commercial de Nancy. In 2003, we took a major step forward by becoming ICN Business School, a state-approved private higher education institution closely associated with the Université de Lorraine.

In 1999, in collaboration with the Mines Nancy, we established the Artem Alliance, an initiative that fosters the fusion of disciplines and catalyzes the development of our innovative pedagogical approach: #ATM.

ICN enjoys status within the Conférence des Grandes Écoles and is widely recognized by the trade press. We are proud to hold several prestigious certificates and accreditations, including the triple crown of AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS. In addition, our commitment to social and environmental responsibility has been rewarded with the DD&RS label.

Our values are based on openness, commitment and team spirit, embodying our vision and mission.

Presentation of our mission

The official mission statement

According to Florence LEGROS: "Our school trains the future managers the economy needs to create wealth and jobs. This reality goes hand in hand with our ambition to support today's managers throughout their careers in the face of professional change".

Indeed, our main mission is to prepare our students to become responsible professionals. Following an initial or continuing transdisciplinary training program, our students will be able to evolve in a globalized economic environment. Strongly influenced by #ATM pedagogy, we are committed to the creation of cross-disciplinary knowledge. From management to art to technology, we promote sustainable knowledge and practices in the field of organizational management.
