“Now in its fourth year, Global Entrepreneurship Week brings together university students, school pupils, teachers, entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, employees, non-profit organisations and many others to celebrate and promote entrepreneurship across the globe and Hull is certainly one of those cities that pushes the boat out to celebrate it. This global movement is growing every year, with more and more countries and organisations involved, the awarding of the High Impact Badge of Honour by Youth Business International is well deserved recognition.”
