The third edition of the EssilorLuxottica Paris Business Game recently took place, bringing together bright young minds from across Europe to imagine the future of vision care, fashion and technology.

This year 15 outstanding candidates, each pursuing a Master’s degree, were carefully selected through a rigorous process led by EssilorLuxottica’s Talent Acquisition team and the Alliance of European Business Games (AEBG).

An Invitation to Innovate

Over the two-day experience, participants were immersed in a live EssilorLuxottica business case that mirrors challenges the Group manages every day in marketing, e-commerce and finance. They had a chance to test their skills and strategic thinking to propose innovative solutions, all while networking with peers from diverse international backgrounds.

EssilorLuxottica leaders were part of the initiative, engaging with participants to exchange ideas and offer insight that goes far beyond the classroom. The Group’s leaders also formed a jury to select the winning team, which was recognized for presenting the strongest business case solution as well as showcasing leadership and teamwork.

Beyond the Game: Opening Doors to Careers

For many, the Paris Business Game represents a first step into an exciting career journey. Selected participants will be offered internship opportunities at EssilorLuxottica in France, providing a chance to further develop their skills and grow within the Group.

Tommaso La Macchia, our 2025 Business Game Ambassador, is a recent success story. A participant in the very first edition, Tommaso now thrives within the EssilorLuxottica Finance team.

“Taking part in the EssilorLuxottica Business Game is an awesome opportunity for anyone to discover more about the Group by challenging yourself, collaborating and sharing ideas with other young talent and business professionals.”
