El Ser Creativo (ESC) is a leading provider of free educational events and online learning in Spain.

With a €228m (£200m) investment from the Pervaiz Naviede Family Trust, the Madrid-based company will be able to strengthen and expand its range of online training courses.

These include their award-winning initiative, the Congress of Brilliant Minds, which brought together some of the world’s leading experts in their fields to host a series of free online seminars. These included Ferran Adrià, formerly of the restaurant elBulli and widely accepted as the best chef in the world, Jeremy Rifkin, a political advisor to Bill Clinton and Al Gore and a number of Nobel Peace Prize winners.

El Ser Creativo whose motto is ‘Ideas to Change the World’ is now looking to expand its services into overseas markets.
