During the month of April, our colleague Jorge Villagrasa attended the Babson Collaborative Global Summit 2025, held from 6 to 9 April in Paris and organised by EDC Paris Business School.

Within the framework of this international event, a recently published book was presented, to which Jorge has contributed three chapters. This book is the result of a three-year collaboration with 42 educators from 20 universities in 13 countries, including Colin Donaldson and Felipe Sánchez Coll.

📘 The chapters address key issues such as:

• The different ways in which students experience fear of failure, and how to deal with it by fostering a “can do” mentality.
• The importance of understanding the strategic and dynamic play between competitors in the entrepreneurial environment.
• The essential role of maintaining a positive cash flow to ensure the sustainability of any entrepreneurial proposal, however ambitious it may be.

This 8th Babson Collaborative Global Summit was the largest to date, bringing together 74 participants from 29 member institutions in 21 countries. Experiences, best practices and strategic visions on global entrepreneurship education were shared in an environment of academic and institutional collaboration.
