Master’s Years 1 & 2 Innovation and Territorial Marketing (MIT)
The Master’s degree in Innovation and Territorial Marketing (MIT) offers a specialization in the fields of territorial marketing, tourism and innovation. The goal is to support the various regional stakeholders (local governments, large corporations, startups, accommodation providers, business incubators, etc.) in their economic development by training marketing specialists capable of enhancing their appeal and commercial success on an international scale.
The program places significant emphasis on the ecological, digital, economic and social transition challenges faced by businesses, public entities and regions as a whole. Professional challenges and projects (such as “Territoires Engagés” in the first year and “Le mètre Carré” in the second year) connect students with local businesses to assist them in formalizing their marketing strategies and establishing sustainable business models.
The MIT Master’s program is supported in terms of research by the International Chair on Smart City Uses and Practices.
Web marketing training (e-CRM and big data, web tools, e-tourism, digital marketing) therefore plays a central role, with a particular emphasis on the design and management of smart, connected and service-oriented cities (smart cities). This program also draws on unique expertise developed within the “Lab Entreprendre” and Montpellier Research in Management (MRM) in the development of new innovative businesses (Montpellier’s Business Innovation Centers are frequently ranked among the top 5 worldwide).
Please note: the first year of the master’s program is not available as a work-study program.
