Vibrant entrepreneurship is important for economic
growth, employment creation and innovation. Entrepreneurial activity
creates jobs, drives efficient resource use and accelerates the
process of generating, diffusing and applying innovative ideas and
concepts. The development of entrepreneurship has been growing in
importance in many cultures and societies. Local and regional authorities
employ a range of measures to encourage enterprise creation and
development. They include business networks, business incubators,
business advisory, micro-credit schemes and extension services and
cluster development programme.
A society cannot dream to become a developed one
without having an entrepreneurial environment. It requires a constant
supply of creative, innovative and enterprising people. In fact,
everyone has potentiality to excel but only some are able to do
while many not. This leads to many socio-economic problems such
as poverty, illiteracy, and unemployment. Therefore, there is an
urgent need to create an environment of entrepreneurship, self-employment,
and enterprise creation providing solution to unemployment and blocking
sustainable economic growth.
