Young British Entrepreneur to be first EU Ambassador for Young Enterprise?

Jacob Hill was first heard by Peter Harrington of SimVenture who went to see Jacob speak at The John Smith’s Stadium, Huddersfield. 

“Having seen Jacob give a heartfelt presentation in Huddersfield, he was the obvious person to put forward to ETF as a speaker in Brussels. Jacob is a rare individual; even though he is only 20 years old he has accumulated years of valuable business experience and has a highly engaging presentation style.”

Mr Harrington nominated Jacob as an ideal addition to launch the conference during Global Entrepreneurship Week. Tony Gribben a manager of the European training fund was delighted to have Jacob on board sharing his story.

“(Jacob’s) enterprise story captured the hearts and minds of the conference participants when he keynoted at the gala dinner… I want to connect up with other Jacob Hills across Europe to make things happen.”

Jacob is now leading an initiative to offer young entrepreneurs all over the world to connect and share contacts, experience and have access to more support and funding. Members of the conference from the major European countries and others such as; Libya, Lebanon, Palestine, Croatia, Jordan and Kosovo are all supporting of this idea. There have even been talks of Jacob becoming the first European Union ambassador for young enterprise. Jacob is now building a team and plan to take this idea forward at next year’s Global Entrepreneurship Week.

“Being a key note speaker at the European Union in Brussels was absolutely terrifying, but as I got talking, all my nerves left. This was the first time I have had to talk and wait for translators to catch up, but I am really proud I got to represent young entrepreneurs all over the world at one of Global Entrepreneurship Week’s most prestigious events… I have been flooded with guest speaking offers all over Europe, North Africa and Western Asia – I’d be silly not to take them!”
