Entrepreneurship at IESE
At IESE we define entrepreneurship as the ability to craft, develop and grow new opportunities, not only via start-up endeavors but also from within an already existing firm. We believe an entrepreneurial mindset is essential for survival and success in today’s business environment. The value and importance of an entrepreneurial mindset is transmitted through all our programs’ curriculum. However, our Bertrán Foundation Chair of Entrepreneurship is dedicated entirely to advancing and promoting knowledge in the area. We also have created an innovative ecosystem through IESE’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center (EIC) wherein world-class IESE faculty, successful and aspiring entrepreneurs, investors and other business leaders are brought together. And through the Finaves venture capital funds and Business Angels Network, we provide the advice, networks and funding necessary to bring entrepreneurial dreams to life.
