Global Entrepreneurship Week: Day 1

Today we celebrate the start of Global Entrepreneurship Week here at the Library; a celebration of entrepreneurship around the world.

This week is packed with events to help you on your way to business success by learning from people who have already been there and now have a successful business.

Each day has a theme; today is 'Absolute beginners’, the essentials that you need when starting or growing a business.

Speed mentoring sessions

We’re running two speed mentoring sessions today, with experts offering advice on everything from business finance and planning through to marketing and increasing sales.

Both sessions are now fully booked but you can come along to use the business resources in the Centre and find out more about our services.

Question Time for Entrepreneurs

Don’t miss your chance to put your business questions to four of the UK’s top business brains in this flagship event to celebrate the start of Global Entrepreneurship Week.

Speakers include homeware designer Emma Bridgewater, founder of the Bright Ideas Trust and former Apprentice winner Tim Campbell.

Book a ticket.

Live webcast

You can watch Question Time for Entrepreneurs live from the comfort of your own home on our webcast and put your questions to our panel using the Twitter hashtag #BLGEW.

There will also be special live webcast screenings in both Newcastle City Library and New York Public Library.
