International Franco-Asian Management Center

1995 – 2025: Cultivating International Talent – 30 Years of Projects and over 1000 alumni

The Centre de Management International Franco-Asiatique (CMIFA), firmly rooted in the Chinese-speaking world, is an integral part of IAE Nantes’ international development strategy in Asia. It manages 14 partnerships across Asia with universities in Cambodia, China, South Korea, and Japan, and is currently developing new collaborations in India and Taiwan.

These partnerships provide mobility opportunities for both students and staff, as well as foster research collaborations between faculty members.

The CMIFA also hosts training-oriented programs, including:

• A Master’s Degree in Franco-Asian International Management, open to international and French students interested in Asia, Asian markets, and intercultural management.
• A University Certificate specifically focused on the Chinese-speaking world, awarded during the second year of the master’s program.
• A University Diploma in Franco-Chinese Management Studies, designed for Chinese students in their 3rd or 4th year of a French major (Benke) at our partner universities, allowing them to gain foundational knowledge in management while developing their French language skills.

Our ambition: to cultivate international talent by enhancing each student’s initial expertise with managerial and leadership skills in a multicultural context. Our motivation is stronger than ever: to promote cultural exchange, to learn how to work in intercultural teams, and to dare to embrace Asia!
