EESummit 2024
Esade Entrepreneurship Summit
The energy was electric as attendees immersed themselves in powerful keynotes, cutting-edge pitches, and meaningful connections. Starting with morning invite-only sessions with TOP industry leaders and founders, the event was a 3-day experience with activities ranging from inspiring discussions to an intense startup competition, many networking opportunities, parties and even an exclusive sailboat session.
Insights flowed from exceptional speakers like Rana el Kaliouby, who called emotional intelligence a superpower, and Timo Buetefisch, who reminded us that growth is essential to survival. Every speaker, from Maria Alegre to Michael Wolfe, left the audience inspired to dream bigger and act bolder.
