- Entrepreneurship: Bridging Global Boundaries
Øresund Entrepreneurship was pleased and proud to participate in the 55th anniversary for the International Council for Small Business (ICSB), celebrated with an extraordinary conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, dedicated to the topic of entrepreneurship.
ICSB maintains its initial mission by setting forth objectives that include becoming recognized as the primary source for educational resources in small and medium size businesses and entrepreneurship in the world. Furthermore, since 2005, the ICSB has continued its trajectory as the premier membership organization in the world dedicated to the advancement of management development practices for potential entrepreneurs and existing small business owner/managers through education, research, and the free exchange of ideas. By filling the role of an umbrella organization, as an integrator of new knowledge, the Council reinforces rather than duplicates the work of other organizations involved in small business development.
At the conference, ideas and experiences were exchanged, and the program was packed with paper sessions and workshops, as well as networking events, a galla dinner and much more. Many relevant contacts were made, and the topic of Minerva Bridge was eagerly discussed. Participants were impressed with Minerva Bridge as an inspiring initiative, as well as underlining how unique the Øresund Region and our organization are in what we do. The cross-border collaboration involving students, educators, business people, and government institutions was perceived as visionary and interesting.
It will be exciting to see, what the newly established contacts can contribute with in the future. We believe there are many collaborative opportunities for mutual benefit, also including Minerva Bridge.
