ESPM launches Entrepreneurship Hub and seeks to expand discussions on ecosystems and entrepreneurial culture

ESPM, a reference in marketing and business innovation, has just launched its Entrepreneurship Hub. ESPM's hubs are living laboratories created to boost ideas, careers, and businesses within Brazilian sectoral ecosystems.

The entrepreneurship discussion group emerges as a community dedicated to exchanging experiences, fostering innovation, and developing new businesses, connecting students, alumni, professors, researchers, and entrepreneurs. With a contemporary approach, the Hub aims to encourage innovation with responsibility and relevance through three pillars: The Power of Creativity, Global Ecosystems, and Digitally Native Vertical Brands (DNVBs).

"The creation of the hub is another step in the maturation and structuring of the entrepreneurship discussion at ESPM. With it, we achieved a unified position in the market. The goal is to connect all the initiatives that were already underway at ESPM from a single vision for the market," comments Caio Bianchi, Director of Extension, Ecosystems, and Continuing Education at ESPM. 

With a vibrant portfolio of courses and programs, it serves as a catalyst for ESPM's initiatives that foster entrepreneurship at all levels: undergraduate, graduate, extension, and master's and doctoral degrees. Through the group, ESPM supports entrepreneurs throughout their journey, facilitating the transformation of ideas into businesses and boosting the growth of new ones by connecting entrepreneurs with opportunities, markets, and investors. Additionally, it values the longevity of family businesses by promoting sustainable continuity, governance, and innovation in family businesses across generations.

The Hub has strategic partners such as ADE Sampa, ABStartups, Founder Institute, Cristal IA, and Innovati, as well as inspiring teachers who are directly involved in the initiatives and courses.

Fernanda Cahen, professor of the postgraduate program in Administration (PPGA) at ESPM, will also serve as curator of the Entrepreneurship Hub, which also includes a community active on WhatsApp with industry professionals sharing the latest news and job opportunities, in addition to networking. 

With this launch, ESPM now has seven Hubs for the market: Fashion and Beauty, Luxury, ESG, Digital Channels, Trade Marketing, Employer Branding, and Entrepreneurship. All of them host market events and current discussions about each sector.
