Entrepreneurship APPG

First Registered: 29/09/2015 • Last updated on: 18/06/2025

Entrepreneurs are vital to a dynamic, innovative economy. The APPG for Entrepreneurship exists to champion their role – encouraging, supporting, and promoting entrepreneurship across the UK. Our mission is to ensure that Parliament remains closely informed about what’s needed to foster the best possible environment for entrepreneurs to succeed.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
