Our mission at the Center for Emerging Markets at IESE is to create a leading institution in the field of new and emerging markets. By bringing together some of the most respected practitioners and academics, we seek to promote a better understanding of the channels by which private sector and governmental organizations can engage effectively with new and emerging economies across the globe. We also aim to assist the private sector and governmental organizations in meeting development goals and the entrepreneurial and business management challenges faced by emerging economies in global markets.

We emphasize the collaborative nature of research by designing programs that foster cooperation in a variety of forms. These include receiving fellow members from other centers; sending members of our faculty to other centers; exchanging research, data and newsletters, and running an occasional joint conference.

The Center for Emerging Markets counts with the collaboration of the Banco Sabadell Chair of Emerging Markets, that forms part of IESE's educational and research activity.
