Economic Impact and Entrepreneurship

At IE University, entrepreneurship is in our DNA. We provide education and training to help develop a modern workforce and encourage and support new economic activity. As technology, innovation and entrepreneurship form important core values, capacity-building involves empowering our students with the purpose, knowledge, tools, and other resources they need to have a positive impact on complex and often intertwined social and ecological problems. Below see some of the initiatives that we pursue at IE University to foster entrepreneurship and economic impact.

IE IMPACT

Students from every school and all undergraduate degrees at IE University come together in this dynamic program where they are introduced to some of the most complex issues and challenges facing societies. They develop a working knowledge of the disruptive technologies that are applied to address these challenges and contemplate their implications. Through this experience students develop an entrepreneurial mindset by ideating, validating and developing innovative business models, which can be applied to societal challenges that can serve to make positive change over the long-term.

Ultimately, through the IE Challenge, student teams tackle real-world problems by conceptualizing and designing proposals to help a startup advance, amplify or scale their impact to achieve one or more of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
