About AES Paris
OVERVIEW
AES Paris is not your typical business school. We’re here to prepare Generation Z – and every future generation – to tackle the world’s most urgent and exciting challenges: innovation, design thinking, sustainability, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, data, and digital transformation.
Inspired by the pioneering spirit of École 42, AES Paris offers programs that flip the script:
20% theory, 80% hands-on learning – with real projects, teamwork, and direct problem-solving.
We don’t sell diplomas — we create professionals who are ready to lead.
Our Vision – Building the Present for a Better Future
At AES Paris, our vision is simple: stay real, stay close to our students, and focus on what the world actually needs.
We don’t make grand promises. We don’t sell dreams. We prepare people — practically, humanely, and intelligently — for the future of work and life.
We adapt to each individual, giving everyone a fair chance to succeed. That means:
Adaptability
Learning for everyone
Human-centered teaching
Awareness of reality
Knowledge sharing
No artificial time limits
Global mindset
Less theory, more practice
Career creation
Our Mission – Fixing the Gap Between School and the Real World
Today, students finish 5 years of study — and still feel unprepared for real work. There’s a growing disconnect between what schools teach and what companies need.
At AES Paris, we’ve built our programs to solve this gap:
The problem:
-
Generations no longer understand each other — and can’t work together.
-
Young professionals feel “unrecognized” despite years of study.
-
Companies often ignore diplomas and retrain hires from scratch.
Our response:
We teach by doing. We focus on group projects, industry collaborations, and skills that make sense in today’s economy. Our programs evolve constantly based on employer feedback and real-world demands.

Our Principles – What We Stand For
Adaptability
We evolve with the world and the individual. No one-size-fits-all paths. Just smart learning that adapts to who you are and what’s ahead.
Awareness of reality
We don’t teach in a bubble. Our programs are built from feedback — from students, teachers, employers, and international partners.
Global mindset
The world is interconnected. That’s why all our programs are in English, welcoming students from every continent and preparing them to work across borders.
For everyone
Learning should be inclusive. AES Paris is a space where ideas, cultures, and experiences collide — creating a better future for all.
Sharing Knowledge
We learn faster when we learn together. Collaboration isn’t optional — it’s the foundation of innovation.
Less Theory, More Practice
Our students don’t just take notes — they run tests, lead teams, pitch ideas, and get real results. Every project is a “test and learn” loop.
Human training
In an AI-driven world, human skills matter more than ever. We train not just minds, but empathy, expression, and emotional intelligence.
No time limit
Learning shouldn’t be rushed or standardized. Our model respects each student’s pace — because the goal isn’t speed, it’s depth and impact.
Creating careers
We give students more than a diploma — we give them the confidence, skills, and network to thrive in whatever future they choose..
