ICBEC serves as a global network from which actors in co-operative business education (CBE) can better understand each other’s programmes and mandates, collaborate where mutually beneficial, avoid overlap where possible, and ensure programme relevance to the needs of co-operative and mutual enterprises globally. 

Launched initially in 2013, after a period of inactivity the consortium re-launched in 2021 with coordinating support from the International Centre for Co-operative Management (ICCM, Saint Mary’s University, Canada) and financial support from Sistema OCB (Brazil). ICBEC activities are managed and organised by the Secretariat, hosted by Euricse. 

In 2024, ICBEC launched their website. For more information, to become a member, support, or to join their Loomio community (a community forum for everyone interested in co-operative business education to meet, discuss, and make proposals to the ICBEC) , see the links below.
