“The recently launched Global Enterprise Monitor (GEM) report shows that the level of entrepreneurial activity in the west is higher than both the Northern Ireland and the UK average,and we hope Western Enterprise Week and the Start a Business show will build on that,” she said.
“All the events which included workshops on employing migrant workers, renewable energy and franchising were well received and attended.
“With over 550 businesses started in the western region last year, we hope the events and all the help and advice available atthe Start a Business Show will encourage more people to ‘Go for it’ and help those who have to grow and develop.”
