Inspiring a new generation of European entrepreneurs

This month, we’re focusing on youth. It goes without saying that young entrepreneurs are the future of European enterprise, which is why the tagline for this year’s SME Week, Inspiring a new generation of European entrepreneurs, is a nod to our role as an institution, and as individuals, in nurturing their talent.
Throughout July on the Promoting Enterprise blog, we’ll be featuring young people who are doing big things in the world of enterprise – as founders, creators, and innovators.
If you know any young entrepreneurs who deserve recognition, let us know and we’ll do our best to feature them on the blog and across our social media channels.
And don’t forget to spread the word about our youth essay competition to the young people you know. Read more >>
