IMPACT PROJECT DETAILS DUE NEXT WEEK (11 MONTHS ONLY)

Don't forget to submit your group members, challenge and complete company details by September 23rd on the imbapartners platform. Please see these important documents below:

WHAT COULD YOU DO IN 10 DAYS? | TECH VENTURE BOOTCAMP

Entrepreneurship starts when you begin building.

At the 7th edition of the Tech Venture Bootcamp, you’ll spend 10 days working in multidisciplinary teams to turn a technology-driven idea into a functional prototype. Your business perspective is key to connecting technology with real problems, users, and opportunities.

September 29 – October 8, 2026
📍 IE Tower & María de Molina

No venture idea? No team? That’s fine. You will meet other participants and explore projects during Team Formation.

More info HERE.

🚨 Deadline to apply: September 22nd.

Questions? tvb@ie.edu

NOTE: As a general rule, attendance waivers may be granted for mandatory bootcamp sessions. However, waivers will NOT apply to exams, presentations, or other assessed activities, which will always take priority.

Please keep in mind that waivers are processed retroactively and shared with faculty only after the official attendance list has been confirmed by the organizers.

GLOBAL IMMERSION MONTH INFORMATION (FOR 15 MONTHS ONLY)

We held the Global Immersion Month information session this past week. If you missed it, you can find the slides in your Student Guide.

If you’d like to join this transformative experience in Porto and Berlin, don’t forget to apply through the elective bidding process in the coming weeks.

Listen to our students share the moments that shaped their Global Immersion Month experience.
