Universidad EAN, academic backing of the program

The Madrid program is academically backed by Universidad EAN, a Colombian institution with a long track record in entrepreneurship and business innovation.

The partnership works on three fronts. First, academic review of the entrepreneurship content: session structure, supporting bibliography and the cases used in class are reviewed by EAN faculty before being finalised.

Second, guest faculty in specific sessions of the week, particularly those on product validation and business models in Latin American markets, where the participant's home context matters as much as the European destination.

Third, support for Colombian participants before and after the trip, so the week in Madrid is not an isolated experience but connected to their day-to-day work.

The scope is worth stating clearly. EAN is the institution that academically backs the program. The other organisations shown on the site accompany it from the ecosystem side: visits, open sessions and access to innovation spaces. They are not certifying bodies of the program, and every material says so.
