arrived on stage, and is honoured to be here at the start of Global
Entrepreneurship Week

Gordon Brown – grew up in a school,
where there was no contact between business and the school – meant
that he never considered being an entrepreneur

Returning to the school, he was
impressed to find a program teaching entrepreneurial values

Global program to address food, and
invest in agriculture

Energy – growing demand, fuel costs,
being unaffordable, security challenge, and need for renewable

scarcity drives innovation – we are
able, and have to do a lot more with less. – Don’t lose sight of the
fact that scarcity drives innovation, it makes you want to do more,
with less..

About the inter-connectivity, and about
small businessess out there, not getting stuck on having a hard time,
and need to get out there more, contributing, more, csr programs, to
contribute to society…

Prime Minister Gordon Brown –

There’s many social enterprises in
prime ministers home consistuency, many innovative solutions for
government services are coming out from social enterprises like
nurses, or schools being taken over..

Trying to create a social enterprises
bank, to fund entrepreneurs. Social Enterprises show, to great
effect, that there’s a big contribution to be made

Enterprise based on hard work, effort,
and having the talent to use, and everyone should be encouraged, and
challenged to tap into their talent.

under 21 – what would you say?

PJ – Self belief – opportunities
not just waiting to be found, but

you are the new way, the new crest of
what’s waiting to happen.. Go and make your dreams reality

Jane – seconds that – anything’s
possible. Don’t be afraid to ask, don’t be afraid to show you’re
vulnerabilities, just ask.

PM – discover your talent and use it
to the best effect – school motto – everybody does better
together – I will strive my utmost

Rise to the light

Edison, made the lightbulb, after 100
failures .. he said they were 100 steps to success..

Never be discouraged – use your
talent to the best effect – the global entrepreneurship week is
about that.. the global economy and social entrepreneurship week at
