Program Overview

The 25th Global Entrepreneurship Monitor report has found that the UK is a significantly more entrepreneurial society than it was at the start of the millennium (NatWest, 2024). This can be seen from the increase in the number of private sector businesses in the United Kingdom, which at the start of 2024 was estimated to be around 5.5 million (Gov.uk, 2024).
