Is the UK serious about growth? A room full of SMEs, politicians, and industry heavyweights seem to think so! Lancaster house was the host of a rich conversation about the future of business in the UK. Hosted by Goldman Sachs as they launched the #GrowthAgenda. Beyond hearing from the formidable Asahi Pompey, getting the political inside scoop from Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel, the highlight - An unfiltered discussion with the incredible Jo Malone CBE on why she left the UK, the power of creative currency, and the need for entrepreneurship in the UK curriculum. She said it best: “Entrepreneurs are a warrior-like people. We’re not frightened by a storm or when the direction changes… but we need freedom to create businesses and security to grow them.” She said it with vigor. She’s not wrong. Resilience is default for us, but with rising taxes, shrinking support, and an economy in flux, even the toughest entrepreneurs won’t always win. The Growth Agenda's aim is to go beyond talk and be a blueprint for action. Built by small business from hackathons, roundtables, and meetings (at 10 Downing Street 👀), it’s a roadmap to help likes of Keir give UK businesses the tools to resuscitate the economy. Shoutout to my #10KSB crew, filling the room with the brightest, boldest, and most resilient business minds, including Sarah-Jane Butler (Farringford Legal), Lemon Fuller (Lemonade Dolls), Damien Fisher (Fishtank Agency | B Corp™), Mary Speakman (Code Galaxy), and Byron Dixon OBE (MicroFresh)—ones to watch! Huge thanks to Charlotte Keenan, Jon Foster and the GS team for giving us the space to elevate our voice and some airtime with The Guardian as we strive on with the mission at UpSkill Universe. Let’s get to work. 🚀 #GrowthAgenda #Entrepreneurship #FutureOfBusiness #Leadership #UKEconomy

At Upskill, we are proud of the partners we have had the privilege of working with on USAID projects, especially aiding small and medium businesses to gain e-commerce and AI skills to help them scale. This past 12 months through our partnership with USAID and the Google Hustle Academy, we have had the privilege to train more than 1,000 SMEs in Kenya, help 72% of these SMEs overcome at least one specific challenge using AI, and seen first hand the countless impact stories from these brilliant and inspiring cohorts. Our ability to reach and support this many SMEs has only been possible through the support of USAID. Together, we have made meaningful progress and we remain steadfast in our mission to support the growth of SMEs especially in Sub Saharan Africa. While this chapter with USAID has come to an abrupt halt, we look forward to continuing our work and exploring new ways to create positive change together in Africa. To USAID and all our partners, especially the e-trade team, we say a huge thank you for all that you do, and think of you at this time. 🙏 🙏 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #USAID #eTrade #SWOs #digitalskills #Hustleacademy
