On this occasion,  Al Gore, the former Vice President of the United States and presidential candidate in 2000, will be participating, along with Pablo Isla, former President of INDITEX and current Chairman of IE University’s International Advisory Board.

This edition celebrates its 10th anniversary as the main meeting point for the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem, with entrepreneurs, investors and corporations seeking to generate real business opportunities in the global entrepreneurial ecosystem. The programme will once more bring together leading international investors and successful global start-ups under the theme, [de]coding complexity.
