The International Council for Small Business (ICSB) is a non-profit organization devoted to continuing management education for entrepreneurs and small business. Founded in 1955, the International Council for Small Business (ICSB) was the first international membership organization to promote the growth and development of small businesses worldwide. The organization brings together educators, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners from around the world to share knowledge and expertise in their respective fields.

Imagine what 1.8 billion people can do. According to the UN, that number represents the world’s youth population between 10 and 24 years old. The under-25 represents 43% of the world’s population. In developing nations, the under-25 demographic is 60 percent. The Future of Entrepreneurship lies with this segment of the population, who will who have the potential to lead and solve our global challenges.  However, to become the innovators, leaders, thinkers and problem solvers, families, societies, cities, and countries should invest in the skills and knowledge that they will need to advance economic and social progress. This is the future of work. This is the meaning of work in a sustainable world.
