IE VENTURE DAY Nov 28th
Madrid, Rafael del Pino Auditorium
Join us for Venture Day Madrid!
Come and celebrate with us as we showcase the best Startups of IE University during an evening of music, speakers, pitches and awards.
Venture Day Madrid is on Thursday, Nov. 28th, at the Rafael de Pino Auditorium on C/Rafael Calvo 39. We will open the doors at 4pm!
This year the topic of the Venture Day will be Mindful Leadership. We have the honor of having Penny Low, Founder of Social Innovation Park, one of South East Asia’s largest social innovation parks, as our Keynote speaker. She also served as a member of the Singapore Parliament from 2001 to 2015, before she retired from politics. Today she speaks all over the world about Mindful Leadership and is a frequent organizer at Davos.
Her Keynote, “AWE! A Worthy Enterprise!” is about the global rise of mindfulness and how the growing movement to invest/innovate for good can serve to close the gaps for the UN SDGs. Low asserts that addressing the SDGs and the world’s challenges through applied innovative and technological solutions has become a great opportunity for generating wide-scale impact – social dividends – alongside sustainable financial revenue.
Sprinkled throughout the afternoon will be elevator pitches from our runner-up teams who are not to be underestimated. Oftentimes, our runner-up teams become star alumni success stories!
We will also have a panel discussion moderated by the Academic Director of IE’s recently created Center on Health, Well-being and Happiness, Amélie de Marsily, titled: Mindful Leadership in the Age of Disruption with both Penny Low and Juan José Güemes, Chairman of IE’s Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation.
Finally, at 6pm Venture Day's Finalist Competition will begin! We will have IE top startup finalists from teams of IE students and alumni!
