INSEAD Centre for Entrepreneurship: Accelerator & Bootcamp

Our Mission

The Maag INSEAD Centre for Entrepreneurship calls upon and enables members of the broad INSEAD community to produce knowledge and to deliver or receive assistance with new venture formation, renewal of an existing company, or turn around and re-launch of an ailing enterprise. We curate ideas and lessons from the school's diverse base of alumni and associates and support the research of INSEAD’s scholars.

Through our Start-up Bootcamps, Venture Competitions and Entrepreneurs in Residence programme we foster and grow INSEADs entrepreneurial spirit and facilitate venture formation.

Through our LaunchPad, Entrepreneurship Forums and Mentorship programmes we promote Business as a Force for Good that deliver new and responsible solutions to global challenges.

The efforts put forward by our community helps us fulfil INSEADs mission by educating and inspiring entrepreneurial leaders who drive growth, build wealth, create employment, open up...
