The first session discussed enterprise culture and how to develop young people’s entrepreneurial potential through education. The importance of role models was also brought up, along with the need to educate parents that entrepreneurship is an acceptable career path. The old question of whether entrepreneurs are born or bred arose.

This week’s session looked at the enterprise environment and how to make the UK the easiest place in the world to start and grow a business. Guests were asked to imagine enterprise heaven and describe what that would look like. Everyone’s thoughts drifted towards a simple, virtual, 24/7 one-stop-shop for entrepreneurs. It was suggested that everyone could have an Enterprise Passport, collecting ‘credits’ for entrepreneurial activities.
