The International Centre for Transformational Entrepreneurship (ICTE) is a unique institution which supports sustainable socio-economic transformation through systemic approaches to entrepreneurship in communities nationally and internationally.<br><br>This is achieved through a focus on Entrepreneurial Leadership, Entrepreneurial Education, and Innovation. The research that we undertake informs our thinking and our actions.<br><br>At ICTE our research supports economic development and policy impact through project engagement and consultancy. Education is at the heart of economic transformation and entrepreneurial education supports socio-economic growth, enhances social capital and reduces inequality.<br><br>Enterprise and entrepreneurship is part of the fabric of the Coventry University Group because we want to make a dynamic contribution to sustainable socio-economic development in the UK and beyond. However, we also acknowledged that entrepreneurship remains far from optimal and is struggling to address major challenges such as unemployment and sluggish socio-economic growth found in various parts of the world. Coventry University realised that a new approach is needed and, true to its innovative culture, created the International Centre for Transformational Entrepreneurship during August 2015. Since its creation, ICTE has performed well in addressing various issues in the area of enterprise and entrepreneurship education, research, university enterprise zones and policy formulation. Through involvement of various UK and global partners Coventry University will aim to accelerate these activities in the future.
