Associate Professor, Department of Strategy and General Management at Esade; Academic Director of MSc of Innovation and Entrepreneurship as well as Esade eWorks.
"As part of eWorks we provide various activities. These include meetups, where students can learn from other entrepreneurs and test their ideas. We have a mentoring program, where students can work with experts in particular sectors and can get hands-on feedback about the viability of their ideas. Beyond that, we have an accelerator program, where students who have decided to launch their ventures can benefit from the support from mentors and tutors. Also, we are fortunate to collaborate with the Business Angel Network, which provides funding, especially at the seed stage, for startups."
