Increasing IMT’s impact for the benefit of society
by drawing on the collective strength of the group and its ecosystem.
Institut Mines-Telecom is the number-one public group of engineering and management graduate schools in France. Its mission statement was defined in close collaboration with all its stakeholders in 2021, and expresses the group’s commitment in service of society: “All together to imagine and build a sustainable future and to train its key stakeholders”.
In line with this identity, Institut Mines-Telecom’s 2023 – 2027 strategy aims to help tackle the major industrial, technological, economic, environmental and societal challenges facing our country, and represents a key milestone in its development.
On December 21, 2023, Mr. Bruno Le Maire, Minister for the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, and Odile Gauthier, Executive President of Institut Mines-Télécom, representing the directors of IMT graduate schools signed the Institut Mines-Télécom Objectives and Performance Contract (COP) for 2023-2027.
This contract is consistent with the IMT strategy for 2023-2027, adopted by its Management Board on November 25, 2022. It underlines the Institute’s commitment to training and qualifying more engineers, and making a significant contribution, through its various specialists, to addressing the major challenges facing the economy and society at both national and European levels.
“Institut Mines-Télécom warmly welcomes this government support, confirmed by the signing of this COP, which should enable us to achieve ambitious goals, and build on the 10 years of growth already achieved under the two previous COPs. These objectives reflect our commitment to public service.”
– Odile Gauthier, Executive President, with the deans of IMT graduate schools.
By its collective strength and inter-school cooperation, and in line with its position under the Ministry of the Economy, Finance, and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, IMT’s objective is to be a committed, recognized member of the higher education and research environment, one that is visible and influential at the regional, national and European levels, to increase its societal and economic impact, and to place its innovation capabilities at the service of the common good.
At the heart of the three transitions – industrial, digital and environmental – and their multiple interactions, at the service of society and its necessary transformations,
the overall positioning of Institut Mines-Telecom is focused on and structured around four strategic themes:
- Responsible industry of the future;
- Digital sovereignty and sufficiency;
- Energy, circular economy and society;
- Engineering for health and well-being.
“Activity-level” strategic priorities
“Cross-cutting” strategic priorities
The ambitious objectives set out in the COP specify and quantify the main thrusts of Institut Mines-Télécom’s overall strategy. These objectives reflect the challenges and requirements associated with ecological transition, digital transformation and industrial changes and, more generally, concerning our country’s economic and social development. This contract is based on economic assumptions, notably government support, and on the commitment of our teams to the success of a project to promote the growth of IMT and each of its technical universities.
