Join us in the fifth session of the IE Academy
IE is one of the leading European higher education institutions, whose belief in innovation, diversity with more than (92% of international students) and entrepreneurship is an integral part of its drive towards academic excellence. Our learning model puts students at the centre, is eminently practical and ensures that they acquire not only the technical know-how but also the mind-set and interpersonal skills that are essential for a successful future leader. With its centrally located Madrid campus, international student community, and dynamic learning environment, IE is the perfect place to develop your career.
Fashion brands such as Desigual, Zara and Mango are found in malls all over the world. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla currently dominate European Football. El Celler de Can Roca, Mugaritz and Arzak are just three of the thirteen names from Spain on the list of the world’s 100 top restaurants.
These are just three of the growth areas behind the scaleup of Spain into the second most visited country in the world, overtaking the USA and closing in on France. How did this happen? And what are the lessons that we can learn?
Join Professor Haslam for a masterclass titled "The Scaleup of Spain: Food, Fashion, Football" where he will explain how Spain turned what were once just traditions into multi-billion euros businesses.
