IE Business School, Eighth in World in Poets & Quants Ranking of Best MBA Programs for Entrepreneurship
IE University just wrapped up its 10th year working in conjunction with South Summit to provide one of the most valuable international network of entrepreneurs.
Poets & Quants has released its annual ranking of the World’s Best MBA Programs for Entrepreneurship and this year IE Business School holds the eighth position worldwide and third in Europe. Earlier this year, the Financial Times recognized IE Business School as fourth in the world and first in Europe for entrepreneurship teaching. In addition, the QS ranking highlighted the School’s International MBA as the best in Europe and 3rd in the world for entrepreneurial management.
The International MBA at IE Business School is a customizable and fully immersive one-year program with a student body that hails from more than 75 countries. The beginning of the program is rooted in business fundamentals, with courses that focus specifically on entrepreneurship in addition to leadership, innovation, and sustainability. Following the Core Period, students begin to customize their program for their desired career and can choose between the Business Impact Lab, Startup Lab, Tech Lab or Social Impact Lab.
As IE University was founded in 1973 by a group of visionary entrepreneurs, the spirit of enterprise has been at the heart of the institution since its inception. Since then, entrepreneurship has been part of the identity of the academic institution. All IE University students receive training in entrepreneurial management and 30% of the institution’s more than 70,000 alumni start a company at some point in their professional careers.
In addition, IE University just wrapped up its 10th year working in conjunction with South Summit to provide one of the most valuable international network of entrepreneurs, to support entrepreneurship, and provide investment opportunities. This past October, the South Summit Entrepreneurship Map was released, with survey finding that pointed to an increase in the “solopreneur” in the ecosystem, as in someone “who leads and develops their startup on their own, without a founding team and is an ‘autonomous 3.0’.”
