Annual Report ESADE Foundation 2008-2009 Through the Sant Cugat del Vallès Campus, ESADE has embarked upon a journey of unquestionable social, economic and commercial interest in the service of entrepreneurship, globalisation, social responsibility and innovation. Academic activities began at the new campus in February 2009. An example of sustainable architecture, this modern, purpose-built, 16,500 m² campus is equipped with the latest technologies and adapted to the requirements of the European Higher Education Area. Almost 1,500 students from all over , and also from 38 different countries, have joined the new campus progressively since then to take part in degree programmes in Business Administration-BBA, the various Masters of Sciences in Management programmes, as well as the PhD in Management Sciences programmes and the Master of Research. The campus also hosts various ESADE chairs, institutes, research groups and centres. Adjacent to the new campus, ESADE Creapolis is a third generation business innovation and creativity park. This initiative is led by ESADE in collaboration with Avançsa (), the Town Hall of Sant Cugat del Vallès, Caixa Manresa, “la Caixa”, Caixa Catalunya, Caixa Sabadell and the Sant Cugat Business Association. It is the first time that a business school has promoted an innovation park designed to enable companies from different sectors to come together and share premises, experiences and knowledge surrounding the concept of open and cross innovation. The new academic campus and ESADE Creapolis form a unique ecosystem offering a valuable proposal: to experience studying and working in an international learning and innovation community.

ESADE Creapolis was officially opened by Mrs Cristina Garmendia, Spanish Minister of Science and Innovation, at a ceremony held on 11th November 2009. ESADE’s new Sant Cugat del Vallès Campus was opened by TRH the Prince and Princess of Asturias on 26th October 2009.
