The Entrepreneurs Network and Virgin invite you to join us for an evening reception to launch a new briefing paper exploring the best ways to support business owners to upskill and adopt better technology.

In 2019, the Government published its Business Productivity Review, which found that if the UK's 5.9 million small and medium-sized businesses became as productive as their German counterparts by adopting better management practices and technology, it would add £100bn to the economy. Since the review’s publication, the Government has announced a range of programmes designed to boost digital adoption and expand access to high-quality management training for SMEs.

This APPG for Entrepreneurship Briefing Paper reviews recent progress on the Government’s Business Productivity agenda and looks at programmes such as Help to Grow: Management, Digital and Business Basics. It includes insights from entrepreneurs and organisations which support them identifying what entrepreneurs want from the programmes and whether they are working.

You will need a formal invitation to be admitted to the House of Commons.
