About Us
IE was founded in 1973 by entrepreneurs as an independent, non-profit Business School. Based in Madrid, a focal point in Europe, both in a geographical sense and in a business sense, the School boasts an advantage for its partners and students. Collaboration with the United States, Middle East and Asia, as well as Spain's historical ties with South America, help to attract high profile and multicultural students, faculty and stakeholders. There are 160 different nationalities among students, alumni and faculty. Diversity and internationalism are part of the institution's DNA.
