Entrepreneurship in the UK has long been a vibrant and thriving sector. The country has a favourable business environment, a strong support system, and a culture that encourages innovation and enterprise. Our longest and most established work has been in the UK.
Entrepreneurship also comes with challenges, such as finding the right talent, and navigating market dynamics. The work UK universities undertake continues to ensure that the UK remains a good place start and grow businesses.
