INSEAD was founded in 1957 by venture capitalist Georges Doriot, Claude Janssen, and Olivier Giscard d'Estaing. Original seed money was provided by the Paris Chamber of Commerce.{{cite book |last1=Barsoux |first1=Jean-Louis |title=INSEAD: D'une Intuition a Une Institution |date=2000 |isbn=0-333-92534-3 |page=20|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan UK }}{{cite web |title=Five Degrees of Doriot |url=https://www.alumni.hbs.edu/stories/Pages/story-bulletin.aspx?num=4278 |website=Harvard Business School| date=December 2014 }} The school was originally based in the Château de Fontainebleau before locating to its current Europe Campus in 1967. The original name of the school was "Institut Européen d'Administration des Affaires’ which was later shortened to INSEAD.

In 2000, the school opened a second campus in Singapore, and in 2007, it established a Centre in Abu Dhabi primarily for research and executive education, which later achieved campus status in 2010. In 2020, INSEAD opened the INSEAD San Francisco Hub for Business Innovation.

In 2012, INSEAD joined the Sorbonne University Alliance as a founding member, collaborating with other specialized institutions to contribute to the development of a leading multidisciplinary university.

INSEAD's founding campus (the Europe Campus) is located in Fontainebleau, near Paris, France. The second campus (the Asia Campus) is in the one-north district of Singapore next to one-north MRT station and the third campus (the Middle East Campus) is located in Abu Dhabi. INSEAD expanded its presence to North America in 2020 with the opening of the INSEAD San Francisco Hub for Business Innovation.

INSEAD is a grande école, a French institution of higher education that is separate from, but parallel and connected to the main framework of the French public university system. Similar to the Ivy League in the United States, Oxbridge in the UK, and the C9 League in China, grandes écoles are academic institutions that admit students through a competitive process.{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/expat/4190728/Frances-educational-elite.html|title=France's educational elite|date=17 November 2003|access-date=5 February 2019|work=Daily Telegraph|archive-date=27 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180727033935/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/expat/4190728/Frances-educational-elite.html|url-status=live}}{{cite book|author=Pierre Bourdieu|title=The State Nobility: Elite Schools in the Field of Power|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=do9o-jIrzXgC&pg=PA133|year=1998|publisher=Stanford UP|pages=133–35|isbn=9780804733465|access-date=27 January 2022|archive-date=28 September 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230928192817/https://books.google.com/books?id=do9o-jIrzXgC&pg=PA133#v=onepage&q&f=false|url-status=live}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2019/04/19/grand-ecoles-france/, |title=What are Grandes Ecoles Institutes in France? |date=19 April 2019 |access-date=27 January 2022 |archive-date=28 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221228141516/https://www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2019/04/19/grand-ecoles-france/, |url-status=live }}
