'''Esade''' (Escola Superior d'Administració i Direcció d'Empreses) is an international private educational institution based in [[Barcelona]], [[Spain]]. Esade runs two schools of the university, [[ESADE Business School|Esade Business School]] and [[ESADE Law School|Esade Law School]], as well as a language centre, the Esade Executive Language Center.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mba.today/guide/triple-accreditation-business-schools|title = List of Triple-Accredited Business Schools (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA) 2021}}</ref>  The school has also formed a [[strategic alliance]] with [[University Ramon Llull|Ramon Llull University]] in its [[undergraduate]] programmes in Law and Business. 

== History ==
[[File:Esade idiomas.jpg|thumb|Building 3 at Esplugues avenue]]
The Esade project was conceived in the spring of 1954 by a group of Spanish professionals and entrepreneurs who later founded the university. The school signed an agreement with the [[Jesuits]] ([[Societas Iesu]]) in October 1958 and started offering its first academic programs in a small building in the district of [[Sarrià-Sant Gervasi|Sant Gervasi, Barcelona]].<ref name="History">{{cite web|url=http://www.esade.edu/web/eng/about-esade/aboutus/history|title=ESADE History|publisher=ESADE|access-date=26 September 2017}}</ref>

In 1958, Esade was ultimately founded. Two years later, in 1960, executive education programmes were introduced. In 1964 the college's [[MBA]] programme was established. A year later, in 1965, ESADE's Barcelona campus (Av. Pedralbes) opened (Building I), as well as the Executive Language Centre. In 1993, Esade Law School opened. In 2001, the school inaugurated its campus in [[Madrid]] ([[Chamartín (Madrid)|Chamartín]]). In 2009 Esade opened a new campus in Sant Cugat (Barcelona) as well as [[ESADE#ESADE Creapolis|Esade Creapolis]], a [[technology park]] based on [[open innovation]] and situated on the new Sant Cugat campus.<ref name="History" />

Today Esade's campuses, if the premises in both [[Madrid]] and [[Barcelona]] are included, cover an area of 30,000m<sup>2</sup>.

==Esade Creapolis==
[[File:EsadeCreapolis.jpg|thumbnail|EsadeCreapolis]]
Esade Creapolis is a [[joint venture]] between Esade, a consortium of Spanish [[financial]] institutions, local [[government]] institutions and business associations. The organisation manages a [[technology]] and [[innovation]] park on the Esade campus in Sant Cugat, Barcelona. It is an [[open innovation]] centre promoted by Esade business school, where companies, students, the academic community and scientists come together intending to promote both creativity and innovation. Between 2005 and 2008 Esade Creapolis invested €70 Million in its facilities in [[Sant Cugat del Vallès|Sant Cugat]]<ref name="Creapolis investment">{{cite web|url=http://www.esadecreapolis.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57%3Aesade-invertira-70-millones-en-sant-cugat-del-valles&catid=14%3Acreapolis-en-los-medios&Itemid=201&lang=en|title=ESADE Creapolis invests €70&nbsp;Million in Sant Cugat del Vallès|date=2005-10-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110710201437/http://www.esadecreapolis.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57:esade-invertira-70-millones-en-sant-cugat-del-valles&catid=14:creapolis-en-los-medios&Itemid=201&lang=en|archive-date=2011-07-10|url-status=dead|access-date=26 September 2017}}</ref> and has since become home to various [[Startup company|startups]].
