| Following extensive consultation, the Government's Enterprise Strategy was published today. Enterprise: unlocking the UK's talent sets out how the Government will encourage further business start up and growth. Focusing on small and medium sized businesses the strategy outlines a new framework for Government action and details five enablers of Enterprise (Culture, Knowledge and Skills, Finance, Innovation and Regulatory framework). Highlights include the commitment of £210m over a three-year period (2008/09 - 2011/12) to enterprise education in the UK, as well as measures designed to encourage more women entrepreneurs, cut red tape, and allow easier access to finance. From the Executive Summary: 'This strategy sets out the Government’s renewed enterprise vision to make the UK the most enterprising economy in the world and the best place to start and grow a business. The Government wants to see more people with the ambition to start, grow and innovate within business; having access to suitable business advice and finance and enabled by a strong regulatory environment.' |
