About us
Why we exist
What’s the ultimate goal of our organisation and the world we hope for?
Our vision is of a society where an enterprise culture and entrepreneurial behaviour drive economic prosperity and social cohesion.
Our mission is to give people in the UK the confidence, skills and ambition to be enterprising.
About Enterprise UK
We were founded in 2004 by the British Chamber of Commerce, the Confederation of British Industry, the Institute of Directors and the Federation of Small Businesses, funded mostly by what is now called the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills. Back then, our name was Enterprise Insight.
We started our work with young people under a campaign called Make Your Mark that encouraged enterprising activity amongst 14 – 30 year olds.
That campaign was so successful that we wanted to reach out to new people of all ages and backgrounds, fresh thinkers who spot opportunities, apply entrepreneurial talents and overcome the obstacles to make ideas happen. And we have arranged these programmes under a new brand – Enterprise UK.
