EAE Business School Madrid strengthens its training offer with a program in geopolitics and economic intelligence
In an international context marked by growing geopolitical instability, global economic competition and the accelerated advance of technology, EAE Business School Madrid, belonging to the Planeta Formación y Universidades higher education network, reinforces its training offer with the Program in Geopolitics and Economic Intelligence, a unique academic proposal in Europe that integrates geopolitical analysis, economic intelligence, business vision and artificial intelligence applied to strategic decision-making.
The program, taught in person and lasting 14 weeks (136 hours), combines the EAE Business School headquarters in Madrid with a week of residence at the École de Guerre Économique (EGE), a pioneering European institution in economic intelligence, and the Choiseul Institute, a benchmark in geopolitical and geoeconomic analysis.
Designed to meet the current needs of businesses, governments, and international organizations, the program trains professionals capable of interpreting global power, anticipating geopolitical and economic risks, and transforming strategic information into a competitive advantage. Its approach is eminently practical and action-oriented, featuring crisis simulations, real-world case studies, international negotiation exercises, and advanced strategic intelligence tools.
Among its key features is the integration of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, Big Data, and open-source intelligence (OSINT), applied to geopolitical analysis and economic intelligence. Furthermore, the program boasts a faculty of active experts from fields including defense, diplomacy, intelligence, strategic consulting, and senior business management.
“The world is undergoing a profound reconfiguration of the global order. Understanding how states, companies, and technological actors interact is no longer optional: it is a key competency for any professional who aspires to make decisions with impacts in complex and highly uncertain environments,” emphasizes Manuel Antonio Fernández – Villacañas, Secretary of the Program and Professor at EAE Business School Madrid.
A PROGRAM DESIGNED FOR THE NEW GLOBAL POWER BALANCES
The Program in Geopolitics and Economic Intelligence is especially aimed at managers, strategy and risk managers, public officials, members of diplomatic corps, analysts, consultants, think tank professionals and executives of companies with international activity or in strategic sectors such as energy, technology, defense or infrastructure.
Throughout the program, participants acquire advanced skills in applied geopolitical analysis, economic intelligence, strategic asset protection, economic sovereignty, and crisis management, as well as transferable skills in critical thinking, negotiation, influence, and decision-making under pressure.
The program also opens up a wide range of career opportunities in the corporate, institutional, and technological sectors, such as geopolitical risk analyst, global strategy consultant, director of economic intelligence, head of corporate security, public policy advisor, or specialized analyst for international organizations and media outlets.
With this new proposal, EAE Business School Madrid consolidates its position as a leading business school in the training of leaders prepared to face global challenges, connecting academic analysis with the reality of the centers of economic and political power.
