Who are we?

Within the framework of the International Business Management Curriculum at the Haute Ecole de Gestion in Geneva, there is a Major course, available in the last year of the Bachelor Program called: International Commodity Trading.

This website is dedicated to Commodity Trading in general, but its main purpose is to be a platform where students in this Program can learn and contribute to this fascinating industry. Their contributions are made by weekly news bulletins related to commodities and various trader presentations. Some of which are even made available to the general public.

This Program is taught by Professor Robert Piller, who is a specialist in the field and who has been active in the industry for many years.
