All the points of contact and discussions with founders and investors surely have sparked something in me. In general, I love throwing myself into new challenges and trying new things! A lot of EMDIEL experiences were very inspirational and encouraged me in taking the leap from a secure job in a consultancy to an early-stage startup. Laura Weritz

After working several years internationally with large companies and start-ups, a classical MBA seemed outdated. This is an innovative,future-orientated programme where co-creation and international experiences are paramount, coupled with some of the best professors in entrepreneurship who push us to think differently and creatively to constantly produce and learn. It is the trailblazer for how Master’s programmes should be both grounded in academics and reality, customized to the participant’s interests. Hilary Klassen
