Business Innovation ProgrammeXII edition: October 2025

Admission process open

Throughout the BIP, participants will work on a business-applied project relevant to their Organisation or personal interest. This solution will be based on cutting-edge issues at the forefront of business innovation or corporate venturing with the support of experienced tutors. The development of this project is an integrative learning experience that ties together the various threads of the programme and facilitates their real world application.

The IBDP can cover any aspect of business innovation in any organisation (industrial, public or third sector) anywhere in the world.

Some examples of the outcomes of recent projects have included, among others: the design and development of a methodology and tool to manage knowledge within and outside an industrial firm; the transformation of a financial entity's management model into a process-based management model.

Many of the participants stated in their feedback that the business innovation project adds significant value to them and their companies. It enables them to learn business innovation and new business development through practice, adressing an opportunity, a problem or a challenge.

The BIP participants are interested in creating value by building innovative business and promoting effective innovation or entrepreneurial practices. Some participants will consider externally oriented projects with a focus on business innovation while other participants will opt for internally oriented projects centred on managing innovation.
