Artificial intelligence has now become a key driver of transformation for professions, organisations and career paths. Aware of these challenges, EDHEC Alumni has placed AI at the heart of its events and services offering, with a clear ambition: to support alumni and students in a progressive, practical and inclusive skills development journey.

Since September 2024, a dedicated programme has been rolled out around a strong conviction: AI that is accessible, useful, responsible and in the service of professional careers. The year ahead marks a new milestone, with an expanded programme, a variety of formats and a strengthened collective dynamic.

Our resources to learn about AI and take part in our awareness initiatives

For anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of artificial intelligence, several entry points are available within EDHEC Alumni.

The Data & AI Club is the key space to exchange, share and co-create around these topics. The dedicated Resources page provides access to curated content, articles, replays, tools and recommendations. AI ambassadors also act as local points of contact, available to guide, inspire and connect members.

Finally, a dedicated contact has been identified for any questions relating to the AI programme. Géraldine Simon, Transformation and Change Manager at EDHEC Alumni leads these initiatives and supports the rollout of this AI dynamic within the network.

Thank you to those helping us build this offering

The development of the AI programme relies on a strong collective dynamic. Over recent months, EDHEC Alumni has recruited numerous AI ambassadors from a wide range of backgrounds, professions and geographical areas.

These ambassadors play a key role: relaying initiatives, sharing best practices, feeding back field needs and contributing to community engagement. Their commitment reflects the growing interest in AI-related topics and the network’s desire to collectively embrace these challenges.

Thank you to each and every one of you. Thanks to this mobilisation, exciting developments are ahead, with new formats, experiments and cross-functional projects rolling out throughout the year.

A new strategic partnership for high-value professional content

At the start of the year, EDHEC Alumni is proud to announce a new partnership with Bangcast Top 3 Training, a programme recognised by Les Echos and co-founded by Delphine Bornert (EDHEC Master 2012). This partnership fully aligns with EDHEC Alumni’s ambition to offer practical, operational content directly applicable to professional realities.

Thanks to this collaboration, a marketing-focused learning pathway will be offered, consisting of six à la carte modules, available in French or English. This pathway will enable participants to develop skills in key areas of artificial intelligence applied to marketing, such as GSO, lead acquisition, the creation of analytical assistants and advanced content creation.

This new partnership illustrates EDHEC Alumni’s ambition to leverage the expertise of alumni entrepreneurs and recognised ecosystem players to enrich its training offering. It also reflects the objective of providing high-quality resources tailored to an international network, while maintaining active monitoring of constantly evolving use cases.

For EDHEC Alumni, AI is above all a collective journey

Through this programme, we aim to demonstrate that artificial intelligence is built collectively. Through exchanges, experimentation and the collective intelligence of the network, everyone can appropriate AI at their own pace and according to their own challenges.

In 2026, masterclasses, webinars, events, partnerships and collective mobilisation will make AI a sustainable, useful and meaningful opportunity for all members of the network.
