Audencia Business School, Nantes

Audencia Business School or simply Audencia, former Nantes-Atlantique Business School (ESC Nantes) until 2000, is a French business school, founded in 1900 in Nantes.

Created in 1900 by a decree of the President of the Republic Émile Loubet, the Nantes Business School occupies part of the building housing the city's current natural history museum on rue Voltaire until 1970 (the main entrance to the school once held the same function as that assigned to the museum today). Audencia is an association under the 1901 law managed by a mixed union (city, Chamber of Commerce and Industry).
