Success Stories

Nicolai Brunner
Head of Product at SQUAKE
“The structure was designed for people who don’t want to hit pause on their careers. The modular format, intense but focused real experience sessions, and the clear separation between academic blocks and professional life meant I could apply new concepts almost immediately. Instead of theory roaming in isolation, everything I learned was tested in real business contexts. That tight loop between learning and execution was the real accelerator.

Marc Mataix-Sanjuan
PFAFF Werkzeug- und Formenbau, Group Chief Digital Officer
“During my visit to Microsoft, I had one of the most insightful conversations of my EMDIEL journey. I was struck by how freedom and trust drive innovation. It reminded me that true creativity thrives not in rigid processes, but in purpose and empowerment.
