Entrepreneurial Mindset Express 2026
Volume 9 Number 1
Thank you to the authors from Australia, Benin, Portugal, South Korea and Uzbekistan for taking the time to share their inspiring stories. Click on any image to read or download the article.
Executive Summary: These articles collectively emphasise the critical role of entrepreneurship education in fostering a proactive mindset across diverse global contexts, ranging from Uzbekistan and Benin to Australia and South Korea. A recurring theme is the necessary shift from traditional, passive learning models toward "agile agency" and "intrapreneurship," where individuals are encouraged to navigate uncertainty, solve complex problems, and proactively redesign their roles. The sources highlight that technical skills alone are insufficient for sustainable success, stressing the need for structured mentorship, professionalised business coaching, and the use of "serious games" to unlock creativity and experimentation. Furthermore, authors explore the development of national entrepreneurial ecosystems, noting that effective support requires coherent policy architectures, digitised business registration, and stronger links between training institutions and the private sector. Finally, the articles underscore the importance of diversity and inclusion, specifically focusing on empowering women in leadership and professionalising succession planning within first-generation family businesses.

Volume 9 Number 2
Thank you to the authors from Côte d'Ivoire, Ireland, Jamaica, Morocco and Tanzania for taking the time to share their inspiring stories. Click on any image to read or download the article.
Executive Summary: These articles collectively argue that developing an entrepreneurial mindset is a structural necessity for navigating global uncertainty and creating economic value, regardless of whether individuals start new ventures or work within existing organisations. A central theme is the importance of building collaborative networks and inclusive ecosystems, such as Scotland's SEEN or West Africa's DigiFemmes, to provide the mentorship, digital skills, and visibility required for systemic change. The authors emphasise that resilience and active reinvention are critical responses to crises, requiring robust governance structures to manage the tension between traditional family values and the need for modern adaptation. Institutional and personal transformation is described as a human-centred process that integrates leadership and "action-based" experimentation, moving beyond purely academic business plans toward solving real-world problems. Finally, the articles stress the need for context-specific frameworks rooted in local realities—from Moroccan family firms to Zanzibari public services—while advocating for diversity and digital inclusion to empower historically overlooked talent.
