The Esade Entrepreneurship Summit 2026 is a three-day gathering designed for founders, investors, and operators who want to engage in honest, practical conversations about building and growing ventures.
Taking place in Barcelona, the Summit brings together early-stage and scaling startups, experienced entrepreneurs, and key players from the innovation ecosystem. The program combines keynote talks, interactive sessions, and curated networking formats to create space not only for learning, but also for meaningful exchange.
Across the three days, participants will explore topics such as venture creation, fundraising, growth challenges, and the realities of navigating uncertainty as a founder. Rather than focusing on success stories alone, the Summit aims to highlight real experiences including setbacks, difficult decisions, and lessons learned along the way.
The 2026 edition expands its scope with:
- Smaller, facilitated networking sessions to encourage deeper connections
- Interactive workshops and roundtables with founders and investors
The Summit is designed to balance content and connection, offering both moments of inspiration and practical insights that participants can apply directly to their work.
Whether you are building a startup, supporting one, or exploring the entrepreneurial path, the Esade Entrepreneurship Summit provides a space to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and connect with others working on similar journeys.
