ENTERPRENEURSHIP

Who we are

“Business as a force for good” is an INSEAD value. Business creates economic growth that lifts people out of poverty and creates innovations that fill economies with new products and services. The foundation of business is entrepreneurship.

​

Our purpose is to bring together INSEAD Alumni with an entrepreneurial background and spirit and to provide a platform to exchange war and success stories from first-hand experience and enjoy excellent networking.

What we do

Back in 1999, the first reunion of INSEAD alumni interested in entrepreneurship took place to create a platform for new business ideas.

 

Since then, the confidential setting of IAAG's Entrepreneurship Forum has allowed speakers to openly share their ideas and insights. Vivid discussions among the group facilitate new business ideas and the formation of partnerships and venture teams.

 

Also, the IAAG Entrepreneurship Forum maintains an intense collaboration with the INSEAD faculty. Nearly every year renowned professors like Peter Zemsky, Henning Piezunka, Christoph Zott, Peter Jaboji, Morten Hansen, Bob Ayres, Bill MyGill, LoIc Sadoulet, Tim Bovard, Anet Aris, Ville Satopää and many more provide their insights into their recent research. We look forward to continuing this fruitful cooperation in the future.

​

Several very well-known business personalities participated in the past years, i.a.: Erich Sixt (founder of Sixt), Alexander Samwer (founder of German Founders), Rolf Dienst (Founder of Wellington Partners), Dr. Andreas Wiele (Member of the board of Springer), Dr. Bernd Rödl (founder of Rödl & Partner), Michael Käfer (CEO Käfer Group), Marc Samwer, Global Founders, Jochen Engert (Founder &MD FlixMobility)...

​

The forum targets INSEAD alumni with entrepreneurial backgrounds and spirits. Every year up to 80 participants join this international learn from each other and gain inspiring insights from actual cases and events while meeting like-minded people.
