At the Esade Entrepreneurship Institute, we know that data is vital to building high-growth, high-quality, sustainable startups. This is why at Promoting Entrepreneurship we will share knowledge, and translate academic research into actionable insights on how to promote high-quality start-ups and how to manage the different stages of the entrepreneurial journey.

The main agenda

We will cover the different stages of venture creation: from ideation, to scaling up and to financing. We will also foster a discussion between researchers, practitioners, startup founders and managers promoting corporate entrepreneurship programs.
