An ecosystem for entrepreneurship, innovation and new ventures.

At IESE we define entrepreneurship as the ability to craft, develop and grow new opportunities, via startup projects as well as within already existing firms. The value of an entrepreneurial mindset is transmitted through all our programs’ curriculum.

However, entrepreneurship needs more than academic knowledge to flourish. That’s why we have developed a full ecosystem wherein world-class IESE faculty, successful and aspiring entrepreneurs, investors, and other business leaders are brought together.

We provide the advice, networks, funding and research necessary to bring entrepreneurial dreams to life.
