ICPE began to chart a more innovative course, positioning itself as an executing institution capable of designing and implementing actionable, goal-oriented projects for its member states. At the same time, ICPE remains dedicated to cherishing its legacy as a knowledge hub in the field of management education, continually refining and evolving the content of its programmes to address contemporary realities. Through a balanced approach that combines deep-rooted tradition in capacity building with a renewed emphasis on tangible project execution, the Center seeks to maximize its impact and ensure that member states gain measurable benefits, all while reinforcing ICPE’s role as a trusted source for enterprise development and cooperation.

The ICPE has accumulated substantial expertise in organizing international conferences, seminars, workshops, and other high-level forums, offering Member States and partners opportunities to exchange best practices, foster networks, and elevate policy dialogues on critical topics pertaining to public enterprise and socio-economic development. Historically, such events have played an important role in increasing ICPE’s visibility and convening power, while also enabling in-person interaction among a diverse array of stakeholders, including government representatives, academia, and the private sector. Nevertheless, recent operational assessments suggest that allocating significant resources and staff time to large-scale, in-person gatherings may no longer align effectively with ICPE’s strategic objectives. As a result, current planning increasingly favors digital and hybrid formats for deliberations, allowing broader, more cost-effective participation from geographically dispersed Member States, alongside targeted co-organization with established event partners. Although ICPE’s experience in conference organization remains an asset, such engagements may not constitute a central pillar within the proposed program framework going forward.
