It is part of HES-SO Genève, a consortium of six higher education institutions that collectively serve approximately 15,000 students across 27 sites in seven French-speaking Swiss cantons. HEG-Genève is the only HES within the HES-SO network offering four distinct study programs in economics and services.

The institution's core offerings include four Bachelor programs (Business Economics, Information Science, Business IT, and International Business Management), two Master programs (Business Administration and Information Sciences), an Executive MBA, and approximately 30 continuing education programs (CAS, DAS, MAS). The school's applied research arm is the LTI (Laboratoire des technologies de l'information), which specializes in digital communication, Drupal CMS development, W3C accessibility auditing (accredited by the Swiss Confederation), and UX/web analytics for public-sector clients. Supporting units include the CITÉ interdisciplinary center for urban transition and the Pulse business incubator serving all six HES-SO Genève schools.

Revenue is generated through regulated student tuition, cantonal and federal government subsidies (the primary funding source), continuing education fees, and applied research services via the LTI laboratory. The institution's customer segments include prospective Bachelor and Master students, working professionals seeking continuing education, and public-sector organizations contracting LTI services. HEG-Genève maintains strategic partnerships with Université de Genève, Graduate Institute Geneva, HES-SO network institutions, GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), and various Geneva-based enterprises and government entities including the État de Genève.
