Who WE Are

ICIER is a professional network of internationally reputed researchers and consultants engaged in the development of entrepreneurial individuals and organizations through research, consultancy and training in innovation, entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial management. It was first initiated as International Consortium for Entrepreneurship Research (ICER) by the Milano-Bicocca University, Italy, in partnership with four prestigious academic institutions from BRIC Countries with the funding support from Fondazione Cariplo, Italy. The partner institutions for the original research project were: Milano-Bicocca University, Italy; Instituto de Economia (UFRJ), Brazil; Moscow International Higher Business School (MIRBIS), Russia; Fudan University, China; and Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), India. With a view to bringing in a focus on innovation, subsequently ICER changed its name to ICIER (International Consortium for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Research).
