Innovation and entrepreneurship are tightly coupled concepts. Innovation involves designing new ways of
conceptualising, developing and producing a range of goods and services which society requires. Although
inventing new things may be seen as part of innovation, it does not exclusively rely on new discoveries.
Rather it can stem from seeing new ways of satisfying demand. Thus innovation is not a synonym for
invention and almost anyone can come up with new innovations.
Entrepreneurship adds a further dimension to how new ideas are converted into goods and services.
Entrepreneurship is sometimes said to be a mindset required to convert innovation into a real business
situation which will deliver benefits to the stakeholders. Entrepreneurship is always driven by an individual or
a small group of individuals who are referred to as entrepreneurs and who are sometimes colloquially
referred to as the ‘movers and shakers’ in our society. Thus the entrepreneur configures the various factors
of products to that they become a viable proposition.
ICIE is looking for a broad range of research in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship. We are
proposing to structure the event with the following five tracks and below are some suggestions of topics that
we feel will fit into these tracks. You will be asked to select which area your submission fits into when you
complete the abstract submission form.
