Who we are

Esade is an academic institution that maintains close links with the business world and is recognized for the quality of its education, its international scope, and its clear focus on the holistic development of the individual.

Esade is a member of the UNIJES network of Jesuit universities and has been part of the Ramon Llull University since 1995. It was founded in collaboration with the Society of Jesus in 1958 with a commitment to generating a positive and major change in business, entrepreneurship, and people.

We build our identity on a set of values that reflect human quality and academic and professional excellence. Our behavior is guided by concepts of integrity, sensitivity, diversity, the common good, justice, and sustainability. We encourage inclusive leadership and the development of talent through academic innovation, technology, and solidarity.

Esade has created a collaborative ecosystem to develop these values. Our university campuses are spaces for knowledge, educational experience, and networking – and where students live within a rich environment of academic, entrepreneurial, business, and organizational activities. Our campuses are laboratories for innovation, entrepreneurship, and social progress.
