EX Venture Academy:
Where Comfort Ends
and Innovation Begins
In Europe, innovation often stagnates—not because of a lack of talent, but due to a mindset shaped by comfort and familiarity. People become too comfortable with the status quo, and the drive to disrupt and create fades away. Julien Uhlig, the visionary behind EX Venture Academy, recognized this stagnation and saw the need for a new approach to tech education.
Julien’s global experiences opened his eyes to a different reality—one where collaboration, networking, and innovation thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments. He realized that in other parts of the world, especially in places like Bali, there’s an unparalleled energy and a willingness to embrace change. Here, the boundaries between work, learning, and lifestyle blur, creating a fertile ground for groundbreaking ideas and transformative collaborations.
EX Venture Academy was born from this insight. It’s more than just an internship program—it’s a real-world MBA set in one of the most inspiring environments on the planet. Nestled in Bali, our Academy offers participants the unique opportunity to live, learn, and innovate in a place where creativity knows no bounds. Here, you'll find yourself surrounded by like-minded visionaries, access to top-tier networking opportunities, and the freedom to explore new ideas without the constraints of traditional education.
EX Venture Academy is part of EX Venture, a venture fund that has been investing in impact-oriented ventures since 2018. Our mission is to support initiatives that not only generate financial returns but also contribute to solving some of the world's most pressing challenges.
