Global Entrepreneurship Week

Global Entrepreneurship Week (http://www.gew.org.uk/home) kicks off next Monday addressing the concerns and anxieties of budding entrepreneurs, enabling many more people to create new opportunities and successful ventures that will continue to flourish all year round.

Supporters of the week will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss opportunities that they will use to launch something new, showcase their projects or to raise the profile of entrepreneurship in their locality. The week presents Entrepreneurship as a force for good, lifting people out of poverty, enabling people to take control of their lives or to simply turn passions into profit.

EBP Kent celebrates this fantastic week with a diary full of entrepreneurial themed events that will hopefully inspire the next generation of Britain’s workforce to create the businesses of tomorrow.
