Barclays Entrepreneurs Week 2024
Entrepreneurs’ Week 2024: Celebrating Innovation and Growth
Entrepreneurs’ Week 2024, powered by Barclays Eagle Labs, took place from 25 to 29 November, bringing together the entrepreneurial community for a week-long celebration of innovation, ambition, and growth.
Over the course of the week, we hosted 30 events across the UK, connecting aspiring and established entrepreneurs with invaluable insights and networks. In addition to these events, we launched a thought leadership article, a series of inspiring podcasts, and an in-depth case study—all designed to equip businesses with the tools they need to thrive in today’s competitive landscape.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making this week a success. Keep the momentum going and continue to connect, innovate, and grow!

Pay it forward, give it back
The UK’s founder community is built on a few simple truths. One of these is that founders are often keen to support each other.

To do this we spoke to five founders to hear their stories and their experience of coaching, mentoring and how they have helped, and been helped, by fellow founders.
