HEC Montréal and Desjardins International Development have unveiled a framework partnership agreement for 2025-2030. The two partners intend to embark on international development projects together that will promote climate resilience and social inclusion in the Global South. “Supporting the economic development of vulnerable people in the Global South also strengthens our economy and innovation,” explained Luciano Barin-Cruz, Academic Director, Executive Education HEC Montréal. “Whether it’s the implementation of sustainable practices that have a positive impact on global supply chains, […] the exchange of know-how in the countries concerned that our students can benefit from, or inclusive models that can be adapted by local businesses, our actions have a multiplier effect at the local and international levels.”
