“What perhaps sets apart entrepreneurs is their ability to spot opportunities where others see adversity and it’s great to see how businesses from many different sectors have risen to the challenges posed by Covid-19.
“Launchpad has helped thousands of entrepreneurs to take their first steps into the world of business and we are proud to support this year’s The Star Small Business Awards.”
The programme is funded by the European Union Regional Development fund and since 2016 it has helped more than 7,000 new and aspiring entrepreneurs take the first steps towards launching their own business.
