Support For Enterprise Week


CARL SARGEANT AM BACKS ENTERPRISE WEEK
Carl Sargeant, AM for Alyn and Deeside, is backing Enterprise Week which begins today, saying that this year it will be “more important than ever.”Mr Sargeant said: “In 2008, Enterprise Week will be part of the first ever Global Entrepreneurship Week. It is a worldwide celebration of enterprise, and one of the key aims is to unleash young people’s enterprising ideas and address some of society’s biggest issues, from poverty reduction through to climate change. More than 70 countries are running their own versions of Enterprise Week, all under the Global Entrepreneurship Week banner.”The Assembly Government is taking a lead on this year’s Enterprise Week – an event designed to encourage and celebrate enterprise – by delivering practical help and expert advice to help Welsh businesses and entrepreneurs fight the recession.Mr Sargeant said: “In these difficult economic times, it is important that there is the right support for business in Wales. That is why I am pleased that the Assembly Government is working closely with our country’s business community. The recently launched Economic Summits are generating rapid action to help Welsh-based businesses face the economic challenges.“The Assembly Government will take the lead this week on several themes in Wales - including a series of 'People in Business' across Wales.”For more information about Enterprise Week, see: http://www.enterpriseweek.org.uk/
