A Message From Our Patron

Increasing enterprise and creating a more dynamic business sector is central to an innovative, creative and competitive economy. Enterprise is a vital contributor to the health of our economy and to diversity of opportunity within our society. That is why the Government's ambition is to make the UK the best place in the world to start and grow a business. As part of our ambition, we are seeking to achieve a change in the perception of enterprise and entrepreneurship amongst young people. And ensuring that they have the information they need is an important tool in realising that change.
The Government is an ardent supporter of the 'Make Your Mark' campaign and Global Entrepreneurship Week, which aims to create a more enterprising culture amongst people aged 14-30. Our hope is that today's young people go on to aspire to set up their own businesses, start social enterprises to improve their communities and be innovative employees themselves. Hull is doing a great deal to support its enterprising young people which makes me proud to be the Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership's Patron, particularly as its official that Hull is Yorkshires most enterprising place in 2009
