Building the Future of Entrepreneurship
To open the gates of the startup ecosystem to the best talents in Barcelona, empowering them to leave their mark and shape the future of innovation.
Our Story
It all began in September 2018, when five passionate students sat down with Esade and dared to dream bigger. Together, they founded Ennova, not just another student association, but the driving force behind Esade's Rambla of Innovation, a space where ideas come to life and the future of engineering takes shape.
Our Vision
To be the leading student-run entrepreneurial hub in Spain, recognized by top VCs, Founders and Corporates. To have assisted in creation of unicorns when they were still just ideas of talented students.
