On July 13th we annouced that IE Business School´s Centre for International Entrepreneurship would be opening a new innovation and entrepreneurship centre where we will house our Venture Lab startup teams, run the Venture Network, invite mentors and investors in residence, and more.  The basement of Maria de Molina 31 will be the home and heart of our entrepreneurial activities and an important addition to Madrid´s startup ecosystem.

We asked you the community to help us name this new hub of startup activity and you have done a great job!

I am delighted to announce that the new innovation and entrepreneurship centre of IE Business School will be called – Area31

Area31 was a clear and unrivalled winner and grasped the majority of the 418 votes received!

Many thanks for helping us to come up with a really cool name now it is our job to create and share the vision that this name will represent!

Look forward to welcoming you all to Area31 in September.

Have a great summer & happy entrepreneuring.
