ESPM Launches Entrepreneurship Hub and Seeks to Broaden 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 group focused on debating entrepreneurship emerges as a community dedicated to the exchange of experiences, innovation, and new businesses, connecting students, alumni, professors, researchers, and entrepreneurs. With a contemporary approach, the Hub seeks 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 positioning for the market. The objective is to connect all 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, postgraduate, extension, and master's and doctoral degrees. Through this group, ESPM supports entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey, facilitating the transformation of ideas into businesses and boosting the growth of new ventures by connecting entrepreneurs with opportunities, markets, and investors. Additionally, it champions the longevity of family businesses by promoting sustainable continuity, governance, and innovation in family enterprises across generations.

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

Fernanda Cahen, a postgraduate professor in Administration (PPGA) at ESPM, will also take on the role of curator for the Entrepreneurship Hub, which additionally features a community active on WhatsApp with industry professionals sharing the latest news and job opportunities, as well as 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 offer events for the market and current discussions about each sector.
