The excellent programme at the Global Entrepreneurship Week 211 in Hull gave young people the information and inspiration to make their journey less daunting and more likely to succeed.” Richard Myers

“This was the first time Wedgewelly has taken part fully in Global Entrepreneurship Week and we didn’t know what to expect. We needn’t have worried as it was a fabulous week and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It was eye opening to see how enterprising the young people of Hull are and it was a pleasure to be involved with them all. I would encourage other businesses to support these events and to assist in any way they can. This is definitely the way forward for Hull as these young people are our future entrepreneurs and supporting them makes business sense. We look forward to participating in other events throughout next year and Global Entrepreneurship Week 2012 is on our calendar!”

“This was the first year I have attended Global Entrepreneurship Week in Hull all the young people had great ideas and spoke with such confidence. You could tell that it was a change from being at school and that the teams enjoyed the opportunity to think outside the box and put the things they learn everyday in the classroom into practice and challenging the invited audience to be enterprisuing”

This was the first year I have attended Global Entrepreneurship Week and was very impressed with what I saw and soon realised I was not the only young entrepreneur in Hull striving to develop a business. I understand that promoting the economic well-being and increasing skills and educational attainment are the twin aims for the city over the next en years. There is doubt in my mind we will achieve this through activities that take place every day of the week that are than celebrated in Global Entrepreneurship Week, I am looking forward to next years activities already.”
