June 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 to Enterprise in the UK post-election and highlight ambitious plans to bridge the gap between research and developing industry. We hear about an exciting competition for young entrepreneurs courtesy of Peter Jones and we find out what Doug Richard really thinks about social enterprises. We celebrate this year’s winners of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise and with the model of the UKs enterprise support changing we keep you up-to-date with the latest conferences and events that will keep you in the loop.
