ESADE TO OPEN NEW CAMPUS IN MADRID
Esade Business School in Spain will widen its Madrid footprint with addition of new campus in the Mirasierra district. The new campus, set to open early next year, will house the Madrid Esade Executive Education. It will also devote space to the research centers of EsadeGeo, the EsadeEcPol Economic Policy Center and the Esade Corporate Governance Center; the Esade Alumni unit in Madrid; and the teams in Esade’s main corporate areas.

Esade, headquartered in Barcelona, has had a Madrid presence for more than 25 years. The new campus will be located in a single, four-story building with more than 4,800 square meters (15,748 square feet).
“This new campus is in response to the increased demand for our Executive Education programs and we will bolster this campus as a meeting point for businesses, their managers and our entire community,” says Xavier Mendoza, Esade director general.
“Today, Esade is a benchmark forum generating ideas for public discussion and boosting economic and social growth. The new campus will drive our aim of providing inspiration and guidance for enterprises and companies as they deal with change.”
