The past year has been remarkable for the INSEAD community. Together, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of our Asia Campus and marked a major milestone in the Europe Campus Re-imagination with the inauguration of the Tour Desmarais and the opening of the Garden Pavilion.
We were delighted to welcome Paul Desmarais MBA’79, his wife, Hélène, and their family to the inauguration. Their exceptional generosity helped make this vision possible, and the newly renovated buildings are now home to our Master in Management students.

Our faculty have also continued to shine. We were particularly proud to celebrate Philippe Aghion, The Kurt Björklund Distinguished Professor in Innovation and Growth at INSEAD, who was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics. This achievement is a testament to his outstanding contributions and the calibre of research at INSEAD.

The generosity of our alumni and friends continues to help us renew our campuses, expand access and advance research. At a time of profound global change and uncertainty, this shared commitment matters more than ever.

Thank you for all that you do for INSEAD. I look forward to celebrating many more milestones with you in the year ahead.
