Question No: 2612 / 2012
Andrew Dismore
Can you confirm how many attendees there were at the business bootcamps?
Written response from the Mayor
850 budding and early stage entrepreneurs have attended a full 16 hour+ Business Bootcamp. A further 800 have attended shorter bootcamp workshops.
The pilot programme came to a close in June 2012. Full evaluation is taking place but expectations are that 275 new businesses will have been started, 120 new products launched/developed and 275 jobs created/safeguarded.
