Let’s build high-quality startups!

Join our event “Promoting Entrepreneurship: Lessons learnt from research”

To celebrate our 30 anniversary, the Esade Entrepreneurship Institute (EEI) is organizing the “Promoting Entrepreneurship: Lessons learnt from research” next March 24th (10-16pm) in Barcelona; an event that connects research on entrepreneurship to the promotion of high-growth and high-quality entrepreneurship.

Data is key to build high-growth, high-quality and sustainable startups. Which is why we are inviting top researchers and founders to share cutting-edge knowledge on the different stages of venture creation: ideation, scale-up and financing. We will focus on translating the latest academic research on entrepreneurship into actionable insights to promote high-quality entrepreneurship, as well as how to manage the different stages of the entrepreneurial journey. We will also foster a discussion between researchers, practitioners, startup founders and managers promoting corporate entrepreneurship programs.
