The Rural Entrepreneurship events were created and are managed by the University of the West of Scotland. The 7th conference is the second occasion it will be held in England, following the 2006 conference at the University of Lincoln.
The conference theme reflects the work we're currently undertaking. We're reporting to the Secretary of State on how the recession is impacting on rural businesses, employment and households, and help enable the rural voice and needs to be put to the National Economic Council.
