ICSB-2016-Logo-New

An Extraordinary Experience

ICSB wishes to thank all the participants that made the 2016 ICSB World Conference a resounding success.

When we designed the ICSB 2016 World Conference, our objective was to further enforce ICSB’s mission to facilitate learning related to SMEs and entrepreneurship. We wanted to inject enthusiasm, energy, and creativity in our conference by designing a program that was targeting educators, researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and younger participants. ICSB 2016 was attended by participants from over 55 countries!

ICSB wishes to thank everyone that participated in ICSB 2016, the United Nations, and all our partners for their support.

Well done ICSB! It was quite an ambitious conference, and you did an amazing job. It was the most interesting and informative conference I have ever attended. The academic/policy/practitioner connections were outstanding.

What an exceptional feat to have a conference opening day at the United Nations and more so, on a sustainable basis, to have the United Nations duly recognizing a World SME day! Three cheers (and more) to ICSB and all SMEs. Thank you very much to all who made this possible especially to then President Ki Chan, Immediate Past President Ruben , Incoming President Luca, Ayman, Michael and all the ICSB Board members and members.

The ICSB 2016 World Conference was comprehensive and perfectly organized. From the pre-conference to the last minute, all the presentations and speeches were excellent informative ones. I benefited a lot in terms of knowledge and in terms of networking during the social events. I succeeded to promote for the Egypt Entrepreneurship Summit to be held in Egypt from November 16 to 19, 2016. Thank you ICSB team:)
