Global Entrepreneurship Week is an international celebration of innovators, creators and budding businesses, who launch start-ups that bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and seek to have a positive impact on the world around them.
In support of the 15th anniversary of the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) and their annual Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), the Business & IP Centre South Yorkshire will be hosting a series of events across the region to celebrate the GEW 2022 theme of Grow with Purpose.
So, if you are interested in exploring how businesses in your area have developed and embedded purpose as a principle and are successfully growing and are keen to get some tips and advice on how you can embed your purpose into the heart of your business, this could be the event for you.
