From Hong Kong to Europe, Learning by Doing in Barcelona!
“Living and learning in Barcelona showed me the real power of cross-cultural collaboration. It broadened my perspective and reminded me why I enjoy solving problems with people from different backgrounds.” – Sarthak Khanna, Master’s student
Wrapping up a dynamic week in our Barcelona Entrepreneurial Experience program, our Master’s students immersed themselves in one of Europe’s most vibrant startup and innovation ecosystems.
Throughout the week, students engaged with Barcelona’s entrepreneurial landscape through visits to local companies, gaining hands-on insight into doing business in Spain. Alongside this, they explored rich cultural experiences, including iconic landmarks such as La Sagrada Familia, where they explored Gaudí’s world-renowned architecture, as well as an interactive Spanish cooking workshop and an authentic flamenco show, offering deeper insight into Spain’s history and culture.
They also took part in academic sessions on Central Banks and Economic Policies and a geopolitical overview of Spain and Europe, equipping them with practical frameworks to navigate complex economic environments and make more informed decisions.
Following an intensive Product Management workshop, students participated in a Sprint Day at Tech Barcelona, with ‘SeniorDomo’ as the challenge partner. Working in teams, they tackled a real business problem, developing actionable solutions and pitching their ideas within a single day, showcasing impressive creativity and strategic thinking.
The program concluded with hands-on insights from real startup challenges, paired with cultural experiences that brought Barcelona’s entrepreneurial spirit to life.
