Global Entrepreneurship Week 2009

Global Entrepreneurship Week is a worldwide celebration of entrepreneurial people unleashing their enterprising talents, turning their ideas into reality and sowing the seeds of future dreams and aspirations. Established in 2004 in the UK as Enterprise Week, the event has grown larger each year and in 2008 it became part of a wider global movement, Global Entrepreneurship Week. This year’s event (16th-22nd November 2009) saw over 30,000 events attracting nearly 5 million people in 77 countries. For each person taking part it offered a platform to shine a spotlight on their entrepreneurial activities and develop their own unique view of the world.

There were 33 events taking place in Hull in 2009, 23 of which were linked to the Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership. These included six major events, the launch of a Facebook
site about youth enterprise, a new young entrepreneurs speakers programme (www.enterprising-people.co.uk), a new youth enterprise strategy and a global competition to design the logo for next year’s Global Entrepreneurship Week.
