Abstract
The Coventry University (CU) case study illustrates how entrepreneurship is promoted through the Institute of Applied Entrepreneurship (IAE) which became the International Centre for Transformational Entrepreneurship (ICTE). ICTE is a natural evolution of the response of CU to changes internal and external to the university. Therefore, the case study will explore the rationale for the approach adopted at CU and provide an overview of the programmes offered by the IAE and now ICTE.
