Involving a series of tailored workshops and mentoring sessions, the Business Impact Lab helps candidates explore their career options. Like all the labs, it revolves around teamwork, with a special focus on corporate consulting, business strategy and intrapreneurship<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Master in Management and Master in Management &amp; Strategy, the course comprises 40 sessions. Before beginning the Lab, students will form teams and receive initial information about the client for research.

It&#8217;s a great opportunity to identify corporate opportunities\u2014with some students gaining&nbsp; full-time positions with&nbsp;the partner businesses. The business solutions may be continued in the Final Integrative Exercise for those on the 15-month International MBA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-social-impact-lab\">Social Impact Lab<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Social Impact Lab takes students up close to social and economic challenges. This Lab has an international outlook, incorporating fieldwork in Africa to create sustainable social impact. The program emphasizes applying learning in the real world, with students traveling to locations such as Ghana, South Africa and Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students of the Master in Management and Master in Management &amp; Strategy focus on a week-long trip to Ghana, where they collaborate with microfinance institutions to provide strategic recommendations. In order to do this, they form teams and work together to maximize their abilities over two weeks before traveling. This immersive experience strengthens their system-thinking skills while deepening their understanding of social enterprise and community development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-this-cultural-and-professional-immersion-deepens-impact-and-insight\">This cultural and professional immersion deepens impact and insight.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"40702\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sustainable-labs-business-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sustainable-labs-business-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sustainable-labs-business-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sustainable-labs-business-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sustainable-labs-business-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sustainable-labs-business-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sustainable-labs-business-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sustainable-labs-business-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sustainable-labs-business.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For the International MBA, students consult with nonprofits and social enterprises in Spain and South Africa. Their skills are enhanced through informative sessions and interviews before the project begins. Then, they form teams of 3-4 people to partner with mission-driven organizations. Some put their social-impact projects into action in Spain, though most travel to South Africa to immerse themselves in a foreign community while implementing their plans. It&#8217;s a great exercise in project management, with alumni being invited to join the Mighty Network for workshops, content and connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*Please note that the Social Impact Lab is not offered for the September 2025 and January 2026 intakes for the Master in Management and Master in Management and Strategy programs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-startup-lab\">Startup Lab<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Startup Lab is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/entrepreneurship-at-ie-university-honing-your-toolkit-for-business-disruption\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">entrepreneur<\/a>&#8216;s essential. Before the Lab starts, students will form teams and take part in ideation and validation workshops. Then the course kicks off.

With weekly pitch slams and top mentoring sessions, graduating students will be equipped to bring their business ventures to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the Master in Management and the Master in Management &amp; Strategy deliver the Startup Lab over four weeks, throughout which students focus on seizing opportunity, taking risks and pushing the boundaries of innovation. Their weekly activities include short courses, mentoring sessions and quizzes to prepare for the Final Pitch. Students may also continue working on their startups during the Electives term by later selecting the Venture Lab, IE&#8217;s startup accelerator program. Bear in mind that the Venture Lab isn&#8217;t one of the four options we&#8217;re discussing here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-students-finish-the-lab-with-the-skills-to-create-imapctful-solutions-for-real-world-problems-in-both-entrepreneurial-and-corporate-environments\">Students finish the Lab with the skills to create imapctful solutions for real-world problems, in both entrepreneurial and corporate environments.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"40703\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/startup-lab-ie-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/startup-lab-ie-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/startup-lab-ie-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/startup-lab-ie-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/startup-lab-ie-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/startup-lab-ie-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/startup-lab-ie-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/startup-lab-ie-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/startup-lab-ie.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The International MBA\u2019s Startup Lab consists of a Pre-Lab period which includes team formation, mentor assignment and early idea validation. Then, once the Lab has officially begun, students are challenged to design products before testing and launching them to the market. They&#8217;re able to maximize their skills through pitch slams and expert-led roundtables. Those students who are <strong>part of the 15-month track <\/strong>can later apply to the Venture Lab or Knowledge Incubator to continue developing their startups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tech-lab\">Tech Lab<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tech Lab immerses students in the world of technology-driven innovation and problem-solving.

Teams work on a real business issue provided by a partner company, applying insights from core workshops and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/computer-science-specializations-business-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tech-focused sessions<\/a> in areas such as innovation, process mining, and prototype development.

They form teams to address a business challenge, supported by industry experts, mentors and company partners. The Lab emphasizes professional networking, expert validation and project-based learning. At the end of the Lab, teams present their solutions to the partner company, and for those in the 15-month format, standout projects may evolve into Impact Projects within the Final Integrative Exercise.
