Blaenau Gwent Council’s Executive Member for Regeneration & Economic Development, Councillor Dai Davies, said:
“This is a fantastic opportunity to recognise and celebrate entrepreneurs and businesses in Blaenau Gwent. It is a challenging time for businesses and entrepreneurs and we need to acknowledge those who work all year around to make it a success. They are vital to not only the local economy but also the UK.
During Global Entrepreneurship Week, Blaenau Gwent Council’s Economic Development Team is organising and facilitating a number of events for those who may have an idea for a business start-up or whether you are an existing business and therefore potentially looking to grow. There will be events to cater for the different target audiences such as women in business, helping young people to become entrepreneurs in the digital era and networking opportunities.
Business advice and support is available all year round through a number of events and an online free business platform called Blaenau Gwent Business Hub.”
