The teaching methodology is based on lectures with a practical approach, in which participants are encouraged to actively take part in order to share their knowledge and interact with their colleagues. ESADE faculty members and speakers with entrepreneurial and investment experience will give the lectures.

One of the key aspects of this learning model is the input given by the participants themselves, who by sharing experiences will enrich the knowledge acquired both inside and outside the lecture room.
