Bright ideas, inspiring people
This November Global Entrepreneurship Network celebrates 15 years of helping millions of people unleash their ideas to start and scale new businesses. To mark the occasion of Global Entrepreneurship Week we have a busy line up of events across our network, leading with a fascinating panel discussion on why ‘purpose’ deserves to be at the heart of your business.
We’re celebrating ethical entrepreneurs and social enterprises who have already nailed what their purpose is, and who inspire us every day. Read on for insights from Cultureville and Change Please, as well as a very special anniversary toast… It is 10 years since our National Network launched – join us as we reflect on a decade of incredible achievements.
