We were delighted to support a stunning
event at the House of Lords, when Alex Mitchell of the Young Brits Network brought
together The European Confederation of Young Entrepreneurs, StartUp Europe and
The European Youth Forum with the support of the IoD and his own company
Causarma.
Graciously hosted by The Earl of Erroll, the debate focused on the key issue of youth entrepreneurship and was organised in collaboration with The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Entrepreneurship.

Lord Erroll and Shadow Business
Secretary Chuka Umunna played leading roles, speaking passionately about the
importance of entrepreneurship and how to design a financial eco-system that
would enable businesses to thrive. Their speeches captured everyone’s
attention- so much so by the time the event started it was standing room only!
Successful young entrepreneurs came
from the UK, the EU and much further afield. Guests shared their stories and
business strategies. We even had flags to represent the many diverse countries represented by the young entrepreneurs.
At the end everyone enjoyed a question
and answer session, before sharing nibbles and wine along with plenty of
international networking.
Huge thanks to everyone involved for
organising such a successful event.
