Global Entrepreneurship Week is GO! GO! GO!
In the #UK, we kicked off a week of events by opening the @LSEGplc markets with support of @endava alongside some of the most important #startup support organisations in the country!

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of @scaleupinst and the launch of the Scaleup Annual Review 2025, highlighting a record 44,595 scaleups and a further 20,980 in the pipeline #GEWUK #GEW2025 @GEWUK
Happy 50th birthday to @FSB_Voice @fsb_policy! Congrats to @craigie_b and colleagues for delivering grounded, reliable, and highly impactful advocacy and support to small businesses across the UK. Here’s to the next 50 years!
A remarkably similar change is also taking place in Australia, with @cmack4life leading the fight against it:

❌Bad news for women in the UK: On Jan 31 new legislation comes in increasing barriers to entry for women angel investors.
➡️Now: investors on angel investing platforms have to earn over £100k.
➡️Jan 31: new legislation raises it to £170k.
😡Issue: This will disproportionally impact the size of the pool of female investors in the UK & founders. Less female angels to invest in female founders, who because they only get 2% of VC money, rely heavily on angel funding.
🤯Unfathomable decision that needs urgent reversing pls @KemiBadenoch
Sad and unexpected news. As for many in the entrepreneurship education field, Kate was the first person to welcome me into the @EEUK community 16 years ago. She was a bedrock of the ecosystem and loved by all. – at Camden Town, London
Some very sad news this morning.
Our deepest condolences to Kate's family from all at EEUK. She will be greatly missed.

Great to see @TheGENUK leading a conversation on refugee entrepreneurship as part of Refugee Week. Entrepreneurship not only offers new opportunities to people forced from their homelands, but brings new thinking and potential to local ecosystems. worldlabs.org/opportunity/re…
An action-packed and inspiring week @LDNTechWeek & @thenextweb helping launch the @unleashingideas @startupgenome #GSER2023, connecting with global policymakers, and celebrating the strength of European tech!
