Start with the "why" before the "what."

What does it take to turn a business idea into a reality?
It takes a creator's mindset, a robust network, and an environment that fosters innovation.

At IUM, we cultivate this from day one. We're incredibly proud that 1 in 4 of our alumni and 40% of our MBA graduates are entrepreneurs who are building, innovating, and leading in the global market.

Our commitment to fostering entrepreneurship is woven into the IUM experience, providing a launchpad through:

  • Expert guidance from world-class faculty and industry mentors.

  • Strategic networking with incubators, investors, and Monaco's vibrant business community.

  • Practical application via our capstone Entrepreneurial Project and global business plan competitions.

A huge thank you to IUM entrepreneurs Iliyana Popova, Inès Bensalah, Trudy Berger, Kwame Amfo-Akonnor, Tommy Buonsignore, and Aymeric Pazzaglia for being the voice of our alumni in this video. Your drive and success are an inspiration to our entire community.
