Future French Luxury

Description

The future of luxury is sustainability

Let's go back to the roots of luxury, the very foundations of its value: exceptional products born from unique places and traditions, know-how and innovation... So we can build sustainable agrofood systems and strong global brands.

Tomorrow’s luxury managers need to master the entire value chain, from local to global, from field to consumers.

A unique set of skills tailored for tomorrow's sustainable luxury managers
