Global Entrepreneurship Week
Global Entrepreneurship Week is a major annual event in Lambeth being held on 16-22nd November 2009 as a focal point to demonstrate the entrepreneurial talents of local people.  It provides a fantastic opportunity for companies to raise their profile either by taking part in activities, sponsoring an event or donating a prize.
 
Thursday 19th November -Behind the Scenes
For many young people their first experience of a working environment is day one of their first job. We want to show what a working environment is really like so we are asking businesses to open up their premises for half a day and to host a tour of up to 15 young people.
 
Friday 20th November – Young Entrepreneur Market.
Market stalls will be set up under the London Eye. Teams of young people from across Lambeth will be given start up grants of £25 and challenged to come up with product and make as much profit as possible.
How you can get involved: 
 
  • §For £150 your company can get a market stall, a £25 start up grant and a float. You may want to team up with a local school and help a team come up with a product to sell on the day. This product could be related to your business.
  • Donate prizes for the winners of this event. In return Lambeth will acknowledge your support in the award ceremony brochure as well as invite you to the award ceremony and include your company logo on Lambeth’s website.
  • Sponsor the event. Your name will be associated with event in all press communication and on the Lambeth website and Lambeth will include your logo on banners and flyers around Waterloo and include information in the award ceremony brochure.
