At some point in their history Jo Churchill they will have been founded by an entrepreneur, who had an idea, took risks and persevered in building their business. I am determined that we continue to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit, particularly among young people. The central aim of the modern Industrial Strategy is to make the UK the best place to start and grow a business. The Global Entrepreneurship and Development Institute ranked the UK as the second most entrepreneurial economy in Europe and the fourth most entrepreneurial in the world. Technological change is happening at ever increasing speed and is having an ever growing impact on our lives. It is vital for the UK’s future economic prosperity that we lead this change. Harnessing the ideas of entrepreneurs young and old will be central to this. Interestingly, an independent review into young entrepreneurship in England is being led by the Prince’s Trust. The purpose of the review is to seek to better understand the specifi c barriers and opportunities young entrepreneurs face and what more can be done by private, public and third sectors to support them to start and grow a business. Starting a business is never easy and involves risk, but can be highly rewarding. Once a business has got off the ground it is not the end but merely the beginning. An entrepreneur’s work is never done. I therefore welcome that government has supported and invested in the creation of a network of 38 Growth Hubs, providing businesses across England with tailored advice and support. The Business Support Helpline also provides information and guidance to people across England. Ensuring we continue to support young entrepreneurs is vital to not only continued economic prosperity, but also to enabling young people to fulfi l their potential.
