The National Enterprise Network (NEN) is the UK’s national membership body representing organisations that support entrepreneurs, start-ups, micro and small businesses. Working across local, regional, and national levels, NEN champions the vital role of enterprise support in driving economic growth, inclusion and opportunity. It provides a strong collective voice for its members, actively representing the sector to government and key stakeholders, and lobbying to ensure the needs, challenges and impact of business support providers are recognised in policy and funding decisions. Bringing together a diverse network of delivery partners, NEN also facilitates the sharing of best practice, strengthens quality and consistency, and fosters collaboration and innovation. Through events, research, partnerships, and advocacy, NEN help its members respond to the evolving needs of businesses and communities, ensuring enterprise support remains impactful, accessible and future-focused.
