Today marks the start of Global Entrepreneurship Week, a chance to celebrate innovation and job creation.

Our ambition is to make Scotland a world-leading entrepreneurial and innovative nation, bringing new ideas to life and growing the economy in a way that benefits everyone in society.

Our approach to unlock Scotland’s huge entrepreneurial potential is Scotland CAN DO – a shared statement of intent to make this is a great place to start up and support businesses to flourish and grow. And more and more people are doing just that, with recent statistics showing a 7% rise in new business in Scotland in the last year.

Deputy First Minister John Swinney was encouraging and congratulating young entrepreneurs last week at the ‘We are the Future’ conference in Edinburgh, and he told us why entrepreneurship is so important.
