Over the past few years, here at IED, we have noticed that research and innovation in the entrepreneurial ecosystem are not connected. This has created a major gap in the labor market. At the same time, it has also created a great opportunity.
In our way of becoming a Center of Excellence for every entrepreneurial venture in Europe, we took on the difficult task of building the bridge and creating the solution to the problem. After months of work, we are now presenting to you our new service, IED Academy.

(Micro)Learn with us
Nowadays, no one has the time to spend in long, seemingly endless classes with massive amounts of data. IED Academy adopts the practice of microlearning to provide you with small, bite-sized lessons on matters like entrepreneurship.
Microlearning has proven to be highly effective for fast and easy learning. With learner-centric lessons and a cost-effective approach, microlessons are easy to update and able to fill skill gaps and well as boost learner motivation.

IED Academy users gain access to a platform of learning and development related to entrepreneurship. All of our material, our resources, our webinars, and seminars are gathered in one place. They gain knowledge that has derived from practice and they have the ability to shape their own growth programme based on their needs and preferences.
