Global Entrepreneurship Week
Every business starts with a conversation. Start yours today.
From 14-20 November 2011, Global Entrepreneurship Week created a national conversation about entrepreneurship.
The campaign reached out to 213,000 participants, through 2,300 events and 914 partner organisations.
Throughout the week, our message to aspiring entrepreneurs was, “Don’t be too British to ask for help” - there is plenty of assistance for entrepreneurs in the UK, if you only know where to look - and we encouraged support organisations to share their offers of assistance.
The next Global Entrepreneur Week takes place from 12-18 November 2012 - put it in your diary now!

In the run-up too and during the week itself, we compiled a series of blogs on entrepreneurship around the UK.

We are looking for partner organisations to tell us how you’re helping the businesses of tomorrow. Share the practical support you are making available via #GEWoffer.
If you’re a budding entrepreneur then get out there and use #GEWask to share your anxieties, post queries and get support from others.
If you’re not on Twitter, then you can still join in. Send us your hints, tips and concerns to getinvolved@gew.org.uk and we will feed them into the conversation.
