About FBS

France Business School (FBS), over and above the impressive figures and bottom line, is distinguished by its innovative educational project, which focuses on four areas: entrepreneurship, innovation, social responsibility and the development of each local region. FBS wants to break out from the restraints of a system that has not moved on for the past 30 years while at the same time, the economy has undergone many revolutions. It will be not only a powerful, multi-domain school, with considerable freedom of action for the development of the five campuses (Amiens, Brest, Clermont-Ferrand, Poitiers and Tours), but especially a school with a uniquely pertinent learner-centered educational project.
