Elevator Pitch Contest on Barcelona Radio

Saurabh Mishra, former president of the ESADE Entrepreneurship Club, just pointed out that Barcelona Radio reported about the Elevator Pitch Contest. To listen to the report click here.

If anybody wants to make a transcript feel free to add it here ;)  Did they talk about the three winners and what did they say about the system of mobile payments if mentioned at all?

Must-See Video: ESADE Entrepreneurship Elevator Pitch

The Entrepreneurship Club created a great video for the Elevator Pitch Contest, which you have to see. If the event is as great as the video then this event will be excellent. Have a look at this and special mention has to go to William and Keely for the acting! The MBA has paid out already…

Presentation: Sourcing from China

Now it is November and memories about China are already fading however it surely has left a mark on all of us. It was a great experience and we learned a lot however we are still missing one important aspect of the Study Tour. In order to address one shortfall of the China Study Tour we thought it might be interesting to provide you with the opportunity to see China from the angle that has been kep hidden from us: the non-Chinese perspective!

The ESADE Operations Club and ESADE Entrepreneurship Club have invited Tom von der Heyden, 3S Managing Director, to present some realities of what it is really like to do business in China as foreigner. Many of you have already received the email from MBASA however I would like to stress that this presentation is mainly addressed to you, the participants of the Study Tour to China.

It would be great if joined this presentation this Friday because it is for you:

Date: Friday 13, 2009
Time: 5-6 PM
Location: ESADE – Building 3, Avinguda d’Esplugues 92-96, Barcelona
Room: A012

We are looking forward to welcoming you

Reminder: The Good Entrepreneur – Deadline 31.07.09

A quick reminder that tomorrow, the 31st of July 2009, the application process to the Business Plan competition “The Good Entrepreneur” closes as mentioned earlier. This event is organised by CNBC and is looking for the entrepreneur whose idea can change the world.

Quite a few of us, particularly members of the ESADE Entrepreneurship Club, had planned to participate in this very interesting competition but the final exams have made it almost impossible to deliver something sound that can compete with other European innovators and entrepreneurs. Maybe next time…
