Eureka vs Edumundo
A broad, established European business-simulation catalogue across every business discipline — versus a multilingual platform with the same breadth plus Spanish/LATAM reach and co-development.
For business-school and university programmes comparing two broad, configurable simulation catalogues — one European and English-led, one multilingual with deep Spanish/LATAM presence and faculty co-development.

| Dimension | Eureka Simulations | Edumundo |
|---|---|---|
| Catalogue size | 28 core simulations (18 co-developed with IESE) + an Express catalogue of short formats | Broad catalogue across all business disciplines (strategy, international business, entrepreneurship, sustainability, finance, marketing) + configurable/custom sims; since 2001, 45,000+ students at 300+ universities |
| Languages | Platform in 16 languages; Express in 9 (EN, ES, CA, DE, EU, FR, IT, PT, ZH) | Primarily English (Dutch provider) |
| MBA / Exec-Ed depth | High — ExSim plus 18 simulations co-developed with IESE faculty | High — undergraduate and postgraduate business programmes; 300+ universities in 25+ countries |
| Corporate L&D fit | Medium-high — 90-minute Express format to scale to thousands of managers | Medium — mostly higher education rather than corporate L&D |
| Deployment / hosting | Cloud SaaS, 100% browser (Archimedes platform), EU-hosted (GDPR) | Cloud SaaS, browser; team competitions (e.g., North Sea Business Games) |
| Pricing tier | $$ — €8–25/student; €4K–60K/year at institutional level | $$ — per-student / institutional licence |
| Customization | High — co-development with the professor; custom-built simulations (€25–50K) | High — configurable sims; elements can be removed, rearranged or added, plus custom-built simulations |
| Integrations (LTI, SSO) | LTI + SSO (SAML 2.0); integrates with Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard | Web platform; live tutorials and a dedicated student help desk |
| Reporting / analytics | Live instructor dashboard; decision data taggable by competency (AoL-ready) | Instructor tools and competition results; business KPIs per simulation |
| Target geography | Spain + LATAM (IESE family: IPADE, IAE, INALDE, PAD…); 50+ institutions, 10,000+ students | Europe-strong (Netherlands, UK) and 25+ countries; English-led |
When Edumundo is the better choice
Edumundo is an established, broad European catalogue with strong configurability. If your case is one of these, it is a strong fit.
- You teach in English in Northwestern Europe or the UK and want a proven, broad catalogue spanning strategy, international business, finance, marketing, entrepreneurship and sustainability.
- You value configurable simulations you can tailor — removing, rearranging or adding strategic elements to match your module — backed by live tutorials and a student help desk.
- You want an established provider (since 2001) used at 300+ universities, with ready inter-university competitions like the North Sea Business Games.
When Eureka is the better choice
Eureka wins when you need more languages, Spanish/LATAM presence, short formats, or a simulation co-developed around your own case.
- You teach in Spanish, Portuguese or another of 9+ languages with LATAM presence and support; Edumundo is primarily English and Europe-focused.
- You want simulations co-developed WITH faculty (IESE heritage) around your own case — not only configuration of existing sims.
- You want short 90-minute Express formats and competency-tagged decision data for assessment, alongside long-format simulations.
Sometimes you use both
Some programmes use Edumundo for established English-language courses in Europe and Eureka for Spanish/LATAM modules, short formats or co-developed simulations.
Frequently asked questions
Eureka or Edumundo?
Edumundo is an established Dutch provider (since 2001) with a broad, configurable business-simulation catalogue across every discipline, used at 300+ universities, primarily in English. Eureka offers comparable breadth but multilingual (13-language platform, 9-language short formats), with Spanish/LATAM presence and faculty co-development. If you teach in English in Europe and want a proven, configurable catalogue, Edumundo; if you need more languages, LATAM or co-development, Eureka.
Does Edumundo offer custom simulations?
Yes — Edumundo lets you configure sims (remove, rearrange or add elements) and offers custom-built simulations. Eureka also configures, and additionally co-develops bespoke simulations with faculty around your own case, in more languages.
