About Us

Through East Midlands Development Agency (emda) the Unleashing Enterprise partnership aims to further develop a clear and strong connection between all organisations actively involved in delivering, supporting or funding enterprise skills. 

This Unleashing Enterprise website has been designed to underpin enterprise skills campaigns to include Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) (held annually in November) and the Enterprising Streak Campaign (the East Midlands year-round campaign to support enterprise skills) which are specifically targeted at young people aged 14 to 30 years.

Whilst emda manage the project on a daily basis, the partnership is represented by the Unleashing Enterprise Steering Group.  This Steering Group has drawn members from across the region to reflect the diversity and richness of the agenda.  The key is to focus on existing activity and to capitalise on opportunity and reduce duplication.

Unleashing Enterprise believes that enterprise is a skill that can be taught, a skill that can be picked up, improved, honed and applied.  We recognise the depth of expertise across the region and seek to draw together practitioners to help develop these skills to help current, and future, generations become more enterprising.  Further guidance and opinion on enterprise skills development can be accessed from this site.

Unleashing Enterprise is an East Midlands Development Agency programme managed by Prevista Ltd.
