The Global Entrepreneurship Network in the UK (GEN UK) is an ecosystem builder representing entrepreneurship across the UK. We are part of the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) which is active worldwide in 200 countries.

Our mission is to celebrate entrepreneurship; understand the needs of entrepreneurs; support entrepreneurs throughout their journey from aspiration to enterprise; and connect stakeholders through our network of networks, helping the ecosystem become more effective.

 We take an active role at all stages.
