INSEAD Entrepreneurship Forum (IEF) 2018 in Barcelona

For the second year running, Spain and the Spanish NAA hosted the INSEAD Entrepreneurship Forum (IEF) 2018 in Barcelona.  We secured the prestigious premises of both Caixa Forum and Accenture Tech Hub (“La Rotonda”) to hold the IEF.  To ensure a multi national approach, the steering committee had representatives from 5 different European NAAs that included France, Denmark, Germany, UK and of course Spain, alongside the INSEAD Centre for Entrepreneurship (ICE).  The team has worked tirelessly for 12 months to deliver an amazing 2-day event.  We were delighted to host 140 participants, covering 37 different nationalities that gained the opportunity to listen to 28 speakers who kindly offered their time to deliver workshops, fireside chats, keynotes and panels on the topic of this years’ theme; “Excellent Execution”.

For a school that increasingly sees entrepreneurship as the career path for many of its alumni, we will continue working towards making the IEF “the place to be seen and mingle once a year for INSEAD Entrepreneurs”.

 

We look forward to seeing many of you again in September 2019 for the next IEF.  Keep an eye on the IEF19 website as the early bird tickets will go on sale shortly.  To all INSEAD entrepreneurs – keep working hard as we strive for new INSEAD unicorns that we can invite on stage.

 

 

 

 

Comida CEOs Madrid y Barcelona

 

During past September 24th and 25th of September, the Spanish NAA hosted Deputy Dean and Dean of Innovation Peter Zemsky on a series of events both in Madrid and Barcelona

 

Firstly we organized a series of Innovation leaders lunches, hosted by our long time partner BCG (special thanks for INSEAD Alum (ISA CAN YOU INCLUDE HERE RAMON MAB CLASS)  and BCG Partner Ramon Baeza) in their Madrid and Barcelona offices. In total more than 50 innovation leaders (CEOs, CIOs, Innovation Managers and several leading entrepreneurs from both INSEAD and BCG community) in both cities engaged and discuss with Peter the latest trends on Digital Transformation and its effects in corporations.

 

Also as part of the visit, we had the opportunity to celebrate the Digital Transformation forum that counted with more than 60 participants and was hosted by Accenture on their new Auditorium and their Digital Hub. Peter Zemsky addressed on a master class how business strategy and management education need to change its approach to strategy for an age of digital disruption and transformation. The master class was followed by a panel discussion with 3 industry leaders

 

Both events were an amazing opportunity to showcase the engagement of the school on the Innovation area and also the deep roots of the Spanish NAA on the country management class and part of the ongoing effort to raise the awareness of the INSEAD brand on the Spanish largest corporations and society at last
