Entrepreneurs founded IE Business School, and the entrepreneurial spirit continues to define us. The International Center for Entrepreneurial Management (ICEM) coordinates IE Business School’s various entrepreneurial efforts, building upon our status as a worldwide reference for entrepreneurs.

The Venture Lab operates within the ICEM and presents the very best student and alumni projects to an international network of business angels and investors. We incubate and accelerate the most disruptive projects so that they are investment-ready.

The Venture Day is the day on which we present these projects to the rest of the world. The jury that will determine the winner consists of 20 international business angels and partners at venture capitalist firms. The standard is such that three of the six finalists in the last edition of the Venture Lab are negotiating their first rounds of financing based on contacts made at the last Venture Day. We expect to continue this track record of success.

In addition to the student pitches, we will have Q&A sessions with successful entrepreneurs such as Dennis Bemmann, Joshua Novick and Kristof Roomp,  and investors such as Rodolfo Carpintier, Christopher Pommerening, José Martín Cabiedes, Charles Irving and Sophie Dingreville.

We hope that you will join us! All you need to do is register (limited to the first 150 registrants).
