Executive Summary: Higher education institutions serve as central engines for cultivating entrepreneurial talent and mindsets by establishing dedicated student support hubs, such as Ghent University's student-entrepreneurship centre DO! and Ukrainian Catholic University's Center for Entrepreneurship. In South Africa, this involves driving development by embedding entrepreneurship across academic curricula and disciplines to ensure graduates can meaningfully participate in their local societies and workforces. Rather than operating in isolation, universities are adopting a "third mission" to become "living universities" that actively co-create economic, social, and cultural value with businesses, local citizens, and regional ecosystems. This integration is supported by robust, practical resources for student-entrepreneurs, including co-working spaces, study flexibility, municipal grants, local bank collaborations, and international exposure trips. Finally, authors urge stakeholders to move past safe, incremental discussions to imagine and co-create disruptive, future-oriented changes in executive and organizational education.

Executive Summary: The ongoing transformations and unpredictable shifts in the modern world of work require individuals to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset characterised by innovation, self-motivation, and adaptability. Reflecting on diverse entrepreneurial role models—ranging from global industrialists and media figures to local mentors and educators—can inspire people to mimic bold, impactful, and creative behaviours in their own careers. This mindset is increasingly vital in non-traditional fields like healthcare, where fostering entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship among nursing students empowers them to leverage unique clinical insights to improve patient care. To cultivate these talents, higher education must move away from outdated teaching methodologies toward experiential, action-oriented, and holistic learning models designed for the tech-smart Generation Z. Ultimately, thriving in any evolving organisation depends on a continuous cycle of anticipating shifts, letting go of familiar practices, and willingly reinvesting one's energy into new opportunities.

Executive Summary: To foster entrepreneurial success, networks are increasingly recognizing the professional competence of enterprise educators globally, as demonstrated by the international reach of the EEUK Fellowship. On an organizational level, structured, interdisciplinary hackathons are being utilized as open innovation tools to help long-standing associations transition into sustainable, entrepreneurial entities. On an individual level, developing successful entrepreneurs requires addressing deep-seated psychological hurdles, particularly by using scenario planning to help students confront and demystify the fear of the unknown. Furthermore, nurturing a "global mindset" is key for modern businesses, which must learn to value cultural differences as a competitive advantage and design "glocal" strategies that think globally while acting locally. Ultimately, hands-on, experiential youth-serving entrepreneurship programs can play a crucial role in empowering young generations to achieve entrepreneurial success and become a global force for good.
