The Academy of Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Knowledge (ACIEK) has successfully organized 22 international conferences at leading academic institutions worldwide. A notable highlight was the ACIEK 2025 conference in historic Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, which brought together over 600 scholars from 70 countries and resulted in the publication of approximately 220 research papers. Further details are available at: https://www.aciek-academy.com/
Concurrently, the International Symposium on Innovative Management, Information & Production (IMIP)—founded in 2010 by the International Society of Management Engineers (ISME) at Waseda University—recently held its 17th edition in Asia, reinforcing its established academic legacy.
In a pioneering collaboration, ACIEK and ISME will co-host a joint symposium from October 17–19, 2026, in China, under the theme “Industry-Education Integration & New Quality Productivity: Global Vision, Local Action.” This gathering is designed to bridge the gap between academic research and practical application, fostering in-depth discussions on how emerging management models, green development strategies, and robust entrepreneurial ecosystems can jointly drive the transition to new quality productivity. The symposium will serve as a platform for sharing actionable insights and practical methodologies to advance deep industry-education collaboration.
Join us in this transformative dialogue to shape a future where academic innovation and industrial practice converge to foster sustainable growth and long-term prosperity.
Papers are invited from prospective authors with interest in the related areas. Every paper participating in the conference must be submitted online: http://ismeip.org
