The theme for this year's Festival is "Innovation to Build a More Sustainable World".
Hosted by Prof. Davide Sola, the vision of the event is to unite students, alumni, entrepreneurs, investors and potential customers to exchange ideas and learn from each other. This event is run as part of ESCP's top-ranked Master in Management programme, currently placed 7th worldwide by the Financial Times. Five of our six European campuses are running local Entrepreneurship Festivals on the same day, just another example of ESCP's pan-European spirit.
This event is supported by the ESCP Blue Factory, the JBS Institute and the Alumni Association.

► A red-letter day on the L’Oréal Professorship in Creativity Marketing calendar.
► A great opportunity for students to find out about L’Oréal and the innovation- and tech-related career opportunities it offers.
► An excellent way to discover what cutting edge technology and strategies a world-leading consumer goods company is rolling out as it continues to redefine itself as a beauty tech powerhouse.
► A highly interactive event with lots of opportunities to ask questions and network with L’Oréal managers and executives, including HR.
► A full day of workshops led by L’Oréal managers and executives on topics such as tech innovation, digital services, e-commerce, data strategy, gamification, gaming, sustainability and more.
#theinnovationfactory2021 journey started with a brilliant and informative one-hour Masterclass entitled “L’Oréal, a Beauty Tech Company” by Stephane Lannuzel – L'Oréal BeautyTech Programme Director, who painted a comprehensive portrait of the company.

He pointed out how L’Oréal has become nimbler and more agile, and how Tech is a booster of creativity. “The future of Tech will be at the crossroads of science and Tech.”
Inclusive beauty is one of the major challenges. New consumer experiences, listening to consumers’ voices, sustainability, and the circular economy are just some of the issues that Tech can help to address. “Tech is a force for good and for shaping a better world for the planet, consumers and employees”.
The impact of COVID-19 was naturally discussed. Stephane Lannuzel explained that “COVID has not really created anything new, but it has accelerated things… There has been a massive surge in the development of apps, e-commerce, augmented reality and IA. Social commerce is the other really striking thing.”
Four 1-hour seminars were then scheduled, providing many enriching learning opportunities presented by senior managers – including ESCP Alumni – in e-commerce, tech solutions, precision marketing, social influence, brand management, research and innovation, and more.Professor Marie Taillard, Associate Dean for Executive Education (UK) and L’Oréal Professor of Creativity Marketing expressed her heartfelt thanks to the succession of L’Oréal experts who gave our students an outstanding opportunity to immerse themselves in a world of innovation and creativity:
"Open Innovation & Digital Services Factory" - Simon Guillemet - Senior Mobile Project Manager and Julie Raiola-Murray - Digital Product Manager, Open Innovation Team
"Digital Beauty and the Beauty Tech Revolution" - Benjamin Askenazi, Team Manager for Research & Innovation
"E-Commerce at L'Oréal" - Luka Brekalo, Global E-Commerce Lead and Alumnus MMK ESCP
"Innovation & Sustainability: The Product Impact Labelling System" - Louis Baffet, Country Opener & Asset Manager
"Data - From Collection to Activation" - Selim Decoufled, CRM Manager and Estelle Ngo, Global Head of Precision Advertising
"This year's edition of Innovation Factory has been our most exciting yet. Over 500 students from across our campuses and from all programs engaged with L'Oréal managers throughout the day. They explored topics ranging from Beauty Tech and supply chain innovation to e-commerce, sustainability, data science and creativity. Students got a first-hand perspective on what a career at L'Oréal can look like, and were given valuable guidance on how best to navigate the recruitment process. The success of this year's edition reflects the success of our partnership with L'Oréal. It reaffirms our commitment to offer students more opportunities to engage in rich conversations with managers and leaders who inspire them and help them discover their passion and draw their future career paths. Thank you to our L'Oréal partners for making this possible and so successful!" says Prof. Marie Taillard.
For Stéphanie Messner, Talent Acquisition Director – L’Oréal France, ”Innovation Factory gives us a unique opportunity to spend quality time and forge connections with students who want to find out more about careers at L’Oréal. It is the ideal environment for in-depth conversations about where people can fit in, and to help potential candidates gain an insight into the group."
Students took the opportunity to sign up for:
- a "Meet our recruiters" session at a virtual lunch in order to discuss careers prospects at L'Oréal with Talent Acquisition Managers: Stéphanie Messner, Audrey Meznarie, Abdilah Merzoug and Margaux Velty. Career paths, internships, the graduate programme, apprenticeships, L’Oréal’s culture and values, CV dos and don’ts… extensive information was provided to give students a flavour of what working at L’Oréal is really like.
- 7 one-to-one sessions, held at the end of the day with a specific focus on Marketing, Communication, Digital and Finance.
Exclusive, in-depth insights, food for thought, invaluable opportunities to interact with L’Oréal managers, upskilling sessions… students explored many issues and learned valuable lessons in the field of marketing and beyond, gaining an insider’s view of the company. All the sessions were designed to enable students to implement what they had learned in their everyday professional lives.
Students came away feeling that this was a highly valuable and inspirational event, as illustrated by the following feedback:
“Thanks to this event, I get to know the whole L'Oréal world more deeply from the most recent product innovations and distribution channels up to the various career opportunities offered by the company!”(Vittoria Schulte Bulmke, MiM student)
“It was a great opportunity to get to know more around innovation and tech, and more specifically discovering what cutting-edge technologies and strategies a global consumer goods business is utilizing to reposition itself as a beauty tech powerhouse” (Margaux Lautier, MiM student)
“The L'Oréal Innovation Factory x ESCP Business School event last Friday was a unique opportunity to get insights into the complex mechanism of what being a #BeautyTech pioneer entails. It offered a peek into the minds of the business leaders at L'Oréal driving innovation and how they integrate the latest in #artificialintelligence, #machinelearning, #datascience, #virtualreality, #eCommerce, etc. to shape the future of beauty with innovative phygital products and connected consumer experiences.” (Jay Mohan Kaul, MBA student)
“Thanks for taking the initiative and organising this great informative session for us. I got an opportunity to attend Luka Brekalo’s session on E-Commerce at L'Oréal. It is a great challenge to understand a huge scale organisation like L'Oréal, which is tackling challenges like sustainability and digital transformation at a high pace. The session proved informative for me, as it covered various aspects of Supply Chain uncovering different steps of the process. It explained in detail the disruption L’Oreal is causing with its expertise in the market.” (Aakanksha, MMK student)
Melissa Guei, MMK student, spent also a great time attending L'orealxInnovation Factory overall. Her favorite moment was Luka Brekalo’s session, giving an insightful overview of how e-commerce is evolving at L’Oréal and the pillars this success is built on. “I even saved the slide explaining how events and festivals fuel this growth. He mentioned the first step is to listen to shoppers to create events that work. While it can sound obvious, it reminds how it is all about the customers and it is good to see a company as big as Loreal keeps that in mind.”
By sharing their experiences and career paths at L’Oréal with students, the speakers helped students understand how L'Oréal’s agile structure supports not only innovation but also the growth of its talents…
An eye-opening experience… as Luca Roncalli, MiM student, reported: “L’Oréal Innovation Factory has been an incredible opportunity to get to know hidden and super-interesting parts of the company. I particularly enjoyed the wide variety of experiences that were proposed and the super detailed description of each area. I must say, that if I was sure in which area I wanted to work before this initiative, now I am very tempted to change and explore different ones! The conference about Beauty Tech Revolution was incredibly inspiring. Innovative products like YSL Rouge Sur Mesure are the future for a truly inclusive and customer-centred beauty world. I cannot wait to participate in other L’Oréal events!"
This fourth edition is sure to stimulate new career interests among ESCP students!

The French financial markets authority has rewarded Prof. Paul Karehnke for his work, particularly in the field of asset pricing and behavioral finance.
Created by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) in 2015 with the aim of supporting academic research on topics related to regulation and markets, the Young Researcher Award in economics rewards the work of researchers under 35 years of age on economic and financial topics of interest to the market regulator.
Paul Karehnke's research focuses on asset pricing and behavioral finance, and have been published in leading journals such as Journal of Financial Economics, Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA), Management Science and Review of Finance.
The AMF was particularly sensitive to a paper casting doubt on crowding as a stand-alone source of tail risk (soon to be published in the JFQA), which he will present to the members of the AMF's Scientific Council in January 2022, at the meeting where he will officially receive his €5,000 prize.
“Congratulations for this prestigious award that helps enhance the image of research excellence of ESCP not only to the academic community but also the finance industry because this award is made by the market authority,” commented Associate Dean for Research, Pramuan Bunkanwanicha, who knows what he is talking about as he is also a professor of finance.

Frank Bournois’s presentation (Executive President & Dean, ESCP Business School)
For the next decade, what should be the evolving role of Corporate Universities? How to evolve their scope within & even beyond the organization? Will they become catalysts of “learning organizations” and how? What existing & emerging trends will enable tomove from programmes to “lifelong learning”? How should Business Schools & Corporate Universities partner to create this “new world of education & learning” for companies?
Philippe Bonnet (Essilor), Marisa Eboli (Universidade de Sao Paulo, Brazil), Simon Mercado (ESCP), Alexia de Monterno (Merieux), Steven Smith (EFMD)

Thierry Bonetto (Learning Futures), Jean-Luc Guillou (GERME, SOL - Society for Organizational Learning), Isabelle Mancel (Thales), Véronique Tran (ESCP)
The world of work is transforming faster than ever before. Companies are challenged to stay productive, keep learning and preserve the well-being of their people in remote and hybrid environments.

Almudena Canibano (ESCP), Pedro Gonzalo (Société Générale), Evgeny Lukin & Tyra Malzy (JLL), Daniela Proust (Siemens)
Since corporate universities have a major role in contributing to performance, they must themselves be exemplary in demonstrating the return on investment (often significant) that they represent. The measurement of this performance presupposes the mastery of three essential factors: the evaluation of training, the measurementof the materialization of acquired skills and the effectiveness of the skills paths associated with training.
Laurent Cappelletti (CNAM), Laurent Choain (Mazars), Sylvie Dangelser & François Debois (L'Oréal)

We believe it is crucial to give our prospective students and their families a feel for ESCP life and experience first-hand our Business School's atmosphere.
That's why Turin Campus, to reach a more significant number of people, hosted one onsite Open Day in Italian and one Online Open Day in English and Italian over one week.
Both events were a great success in terms of people and interest: the onsite Open Day, the first one since the pandemic, was attended by 202 people, and 331 people joined our virtual event.
The Open Day is an opportunity for potential students to better understand our programmes, culture, internationality, and values by speaking with our staff, professors, and students.
The programmes presented were:
The participants had a unique opportunity to engage with student ambassadors and ask about their experience; to get course, application, accommodation, and financing information; to learn more about the career service and our extra-curricular activities.
Open days are the best way to meet academics and students and ask questions about the programme you are interested in.
Did you miss the event and would you like get a little deeper into the real experience of ESCP?
Don't worry! You can catch up here, by watching the registration of the online Open Day, divided by programme and language:
