Our guest speaker will be introduced by Enrique Dans, IE professor in Information Systems

As a part of our goal to reach enough funds to have the club running and to be able to provide fun for our members, we have organized a set of fundraising raffles for all of IE students.

The winner gets two tickets to watch the Real Madrid team at the Santiago Bernabeu and here we have the story of the experience of the one of the past winners.

We hope that more of you contribute to our team, helping us with the Club, and at the same time, winning these incredible tickets.

Our first winner was Carlos Tarrats and here you have his story:

Knowing that you are a few blocks away from the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, it's a unique opportunity that is not present everyday.

The IE Football Club, which I have to congratulate for the organization and energy, and the Student Office had a raffle to see the Real Madrid. I won the tickets and it was going to be my first time watching Real Madrid. It was a

critical match because many variables were playing at the same time (cutting points against Barcelona FC, leading La Liga). Going out of the Bernabeu metro station towards the stadium with all the fans, and watching all the faces wishing and praying for a victory was an amazing experience. The game was great in terms of suspense and performance but..., sadly, Real Madrid lost the game. This is football, sometimes you win and others you lose and that's the excitement of the game, because until the game it's over everything can happen.

Thanks again to the IE Football Club for this incredible experience!

Dear ALL,

We would like to remind you that the IE Entrepreneurship Club is hosting its kick-off meeting at "Los Girasoles" at 8pm on Thursday, January 22, 2009. The main purpose of this informal gathering is to meet everyone but also talk about business ideas and ventures. We will also announce some of the already lined-up events for the near future. 

SEE INVITATION!

According to the World Bank, Georgia is a small transition economy with a population of about 4.5 million people and a gross national income (GNI) per capita of US$1,560. Its location on the "Silk Road" between Europe and Asia has made it a transit conduit for goods being shipped through the Caucasus, and geographical features such as Georgia's Black Sea coast, mountains, and rich cultural history offer strong tourist potential. Other attributes include an educated labor force, widespread land ownership, and a long tradition of entrepreneurship. Fertile land and a favorable climate enable diverse agricultural production, including a range of fruits and vegetables, livestock, dairy products, nuts, and tea. The country has a long history of viticulture and some 500 varieties of grapes are cultivated. Recent investments in oil exploration have indicated significant oil and gas potential. Other physical resources include manganese, iron, coal, copper, gold, granite, limestone, marble, and mineral waters. Dense forests cover one third of the country and numerous fast-flowing rivers offer good hydropower potential.

This year Georgia entered the ranks of the top 25 most business friendly countries worldwide, according to the World Bank's Doing Business 2008. Georgia is ranked 18th out of 178 economies rated by the Doing Business report, a 19 position increase compared to last year. Georgia has been among the top ten reforming countries for the last three years in a row.

Javier Prieto, one of the most important leaders of our country from both a business & a political perspective, presented us with a unique view of today's troubled economy. He talked about the threats the Mexican economy was facing and the opportunities we should pursue. From Chile to Spain, he covered several subjects such as leadership and motivation, focusing on how each and every one of us can make a difference whether in politics, business or as citizens to promote and ensure a better future.

 

We want to personally thank the people that attended the conference and look forward to promoting our next series of speakers.
