What you leave with

  • The ability to design, fund and steer an entrepreneurial ecosystem
  • An ADALIA Executive Certificate co-signed by OSE
  • An operational roadmap applied to your territory
  • A full command of the five-layer scientific framework
  • A peer network — the cohort

The Executive Programme is sanctioned by an ADALIA Executive Certificate — a professional certificate, not a 'Master' or a state degree. Its value lies in the scientific framework and the authority of the Observatory.
