Who it's for

One platform, four ways in

Eureka Simulations is the business-simulation platform of Kudzu Partners, based in Barcelona. Since 2016 we have co-developed simulations with business-school faculty: 36 core simulations, 18 of them with IESE professors, plus 1,500+ short-format simulations. Everything runs in the browser, on a platform available in 16 languages, and 40,000+ participants at 20+ institutions have trained with it.

Business schools

Flagship simulations co-developed with IESE faculty for MBA and executive programs: several rounds, team against team, with a live instructor dashboard.

Universities

An institutional license to 1,500+ short simulations for any course: sessions of about an hour, launched by the professor, with no per-session cost.

Companies

Simulations set in your industry to develop your whole organization and to assess, on evidence, who you promote. From 15-minute formats to full programs, white-label.

High schools (CTE)

Career and technical education: personal finance, entrepreneurship and business pathways, played team against team, in English or Spanish.

Reference institutions

Developing leaders at world-class institutions

When IESE or IPADE integrate a simulator into their programs, they don't do it because it's trendy — they do it because they see the change in their students. More than 40,000 have already gone through Eureka simulators: learning to think strategically, learning from their mistakes, and developing soft skills by managing teams under pressure and making decisions with incomplete information. Which is, at its core, what professional life will demand of them.

Portfolio

Explore our simulation portfolio

Business simulators that integrate seamlessly into academic programs — in-person or online. Each one built around decisions. Because the competencies the job market demands aren't assessed in an exam, they're demonstrated under pressure. Simulations cover: supply chain, operations, decision analysis, finance, sales, marketing, entrepreneurship, negotiation and more.

Capstone & General Management

  • EXSIM

    Executive Simulation for Strategic Decision-Making

    EXSIM is a comprehensive and competitive business simulation designed for executive and graduate programs. It immerses participants in the complexity of running a company, where every decision counts and every team competes to lead the market.
    Participants make strategic and operational decisions in marketing, product development, R&D, purchasing, labour relations, and ESG, balancing profitability, innovation, and sustainability.
    With access to more than 20 detailed management reports, participants analyze performance, anticipate competitor moves, and adjust strategies in real time. The simulation includes live negotiation scenarios with unions and banks, and provides role-specific dashboards that mirror those used by real-world board members, enabling teams to conduct authentic board meetings and discussions.
    Built on years of collaboration with IESE and IPADE, EXSIM brings together analytical depth, leadership challenges, and human dynamics to create an unparalleled executive learning experience.

  • Premier Print Co

    Comprehensive Business Simulation

    Premiersim is the comprehensive Premier Print Co simulation, ideal for BBA and graduate programs that cover integral business management. Students lead the executive committee and make quarterly decisions across purchasing, operations, marketing, supply chain, retail, finance, and R&D. Performance is judged on a balanced scorecard combining profit, return on equity, market share, and cash — rewarding teams that build a sustainable, well-rounded business.

  • BoardSim

    Board of Directors Simulation with AI Executives

    BoardSim puts participants where most executive programmes never can: on the board, not in management. Teams take the seats of a listed company’s board — chair, lead independent director, the committee chairs, a shareholder representative and the independents — and meet at each quarter end to review results and supervise a management team played by AI.
    The executives have characters, private information and a trust in the board that moves with how they are treated. They answer questions, deflect them, and occasionally volunteer what they were not asked — but only to a board that has earned it. Every buried problem in the case has a documented path to discovery; a board that never asks is told by an event instead, far too late and at full cost.
    Boards are judged on how they governed, never on the share price: time on strategy, the quality of the questions, what they discovered and when, whether they conditioned what they approved, and whether they held their own risk limits. Company outcomes are reported beside that index and never added to it, because a board can govern well and be unlucky.
    The debrief replays each board’s own history with one decision changed and the same events firing, so the difference is the decision and not luck. Two cases ship: an earnings-management case and a controlling-family case, which fail in opposite ways.

Eureka Express

Innovating your program shouldn't be so expensive or so slow.

Using simulators in a single course costs too much. Implementing a new platform takes months. And in the end, success depends on one motivated professor who might not be there next semester. We've seen it dozens of times.

How Eureka Express works Open Simulations — free, openly licensed business simulations

What we hear in every meeting

"The accreditor asks us for evidence of pedagogical innovation, but we have no data to show."

Every simulation session generates real performance data you can include directly in your self-evaluation reports. It's not a narrative — it's evidence.

"We pay per simulator, per session, and per group. In the end only one professor uses it."

With a flat rate, your entire institution accesses the full catalog. Whether they use it in one course or twenty — the cost is the same.

"Students compare us to universities that offer experiences we can't provide."

Simulators in strategy, finance, AI, sustainability, marketing, operations. Your program feels different from the first week.

"I can't depend on an external provider every time I want something adapted to my course."

With the Creator Level, your professors design their own simulators within the platform. No waiting. No depending on anyone.

What changed isn't the technology. It's that today there's a way to bring simulation to all your programs, with a single agreement and without depending on multiple providers.

That's Eureka Express.
1500+

Simulators ready for class

A wide range of categories. Sessions from one hour. They integrate into what you already teach — not courses, but tools.

Your professors create their own

The Creator Level turns your faculty into designers of their own experiences. An academic differentiator that belongs only to your institution.

$

Flat Rate.

No session costs. No renegotiating every semester. A predictable budget that allows you to scale without surprises.

What does your institution gain in the long run?

Universities that adopt simulation in a sustained way build something hard to copy: a culture of hands-on learning that improves student retention, strengthens accreditation processes and elevates the program's perception among employers and prospective students. The technology behind Eureka Express already operates at IESE, IPADE, IAE and UIC Barcelona

Every class without a real decision is a learning opportunity that doesn't come back.

Not because the content is bad — but because content without practice produces professionals who can explain what they would do, but have never done it.

Choosing the right tool

Eureka isn't always the best fit. Here's how to choose.

We believe we're the best fit for most teaching teams — but there are excellent alternatives, and the wrong fit hurts everyone. Compare us honestly against Capsim, Cesim, LABSAG, Harvard Business Publishing and Gamelearn.

When another tool is the better choice

  • Capsim If you teach an undergraduate strategy capstone in English in the US and want its ready-made AACSB assessment.
  • Cesim If you want a broad, standard catalog of strategy simulations without co-development, or languages such as Russian, Turkish or Hungarian.
  • LABSAG If you teach only in Spanish and want the lowest price on a proven catalog of classic simulators.
  • Harvard Business Publishing If the Harvard name matters to your positioning and you want cases, simulations and articles in one English-language catalog.
  • Gamelearn If you are a company training soft skills through self-paced courses at scale.

FAQ

What buyers ask before they start

How long is a simulation session?

Most simulations fit a single class of 60 to 90 minutes. Flagship simulations such as EXSIM run over several rounds and can span a whole program, and corporate formats start at 15 minutes.

Which languages are available?

The platform runs in 16 languages. Simulations are available in Spanish and English, many also in Portuguese, and the catalog shows the languages of each one.

Does it work with our LMS?

Yes. Eureka connects to Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard and other LMSs through LTI, and supports single sign-on with SAML 2.0. Participants play in the browser, with nothing to install.

Does it help with AACSB, AMBA or EQUIS accreditation?

It gives you evidence, not the report. Every team decision is recorded round by round and can be exported, so your Assurance of Learning process can show applied learning with data.

Do you work with companies?

Yes. Eureka for Enterprise brings the same simulations to corporate L&D: formats from 15 minutes to full programs, white-label, set in your sector, to develop people and to assess them on evidence.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the format: per simulator for a single course, or an annual institutional license with no per-session cost. We quote after a 30-minute call. Eureka Basics publishes its prices.

Can we build our own simulation?

Yes, in three ways: your professors build their own with Eureka Express, we co-develop one with you, or you bring a simulation you already have to the platform.
