Breaking Barriers to Entrepeneurship: Shaping Policy in Cornwall

Join the University of Exeter for an interactive workshop to explore solutions to barriers faced by aspiring entrepreneurs from low-income households in Cornwall.

Be part of a conversation that informs future policy & programme design, to make entrepreneurship more accessible.

Workshop Highlights:

• Presentation of research on barriers to entrepreneurship
• Interactive discussions & real-time polling
• breakout sessions to explore actionable strategies

This interactive session is designed for policymakers and key stakeholders invested in shaping economic and social support for low-income households in Cornwall.

During the workshop, we will present the findings of a University of Exeter research project, led by an interdisciplinary team, into the barriers preventing entrepreneurship for people from low-income households in Cornwall.

We hope to gain your valuable perspectives on how to best implement these findings to inform future policy, ensuring that entrepreneurial support is accessible to all. Your contribution will directly impact the design of targeted, actionable recommendations to help overcome barriers for low-income households aiming to start their own businesses.
