Global Entrepreneurship Week 16-22 November 2009"Thriving successful businesses are the lifeblood of prosperous communities. It has never been more important to support the next generation of wealth creating entrepreneurs – particularly in these challenging economic times.”
Global Entrepreneurship Week puts the spotlight on enterprise, opening up new opportunities for people across the country and the world. Thousands of events are run all over the globe, creating mass participation and exposing people of all ages to quality entrepreneurial experiences. It’s about developing people’s enterprise skills, confidence, and making them realise their ambitions. Enterprise Week has been running in the UK since 2004. Last year, it became part of a wider global movement - Global Entrepreneurship Week, which took place in 77 countries. This year, to emphasise the global nature of enterprise and entrepreneurship, the Week will now be known as Global Entrepreneurship Week UK.
