August Edition

Welcome to the latest edition of EnterpriseUpfront, your bi-monthly e-zine for current developments in enterprise, bringing you the latest news, views and research.

This month we gain an insight into the entrepreneurial activity of the UK during the recession by looking at the GEM Monitioring Report of 2009 and we assess the Coalition Governements ‘Emergency’ budget to see how enterprise will be affected moving forward. We hear about an exciting competition for adventurous entrepreneurs courtesy of Smaller World and The Institute of Director’s Head on Influencer Relations, Alex Mitchell tells us all about what went on at the G20 Summit in Toronto earlier this year. We take a closer look at the finalists of Enterprising Britain and find out what they’ve been doing to regenerate their region and we see the efforts from schools, universities, The Government and even The Scouts to match skills to entrepreneurial activity.
