WinWeb Launches 'Business'09 - Win 10,000' Competition And Unleash It! Challenge
Today Winweb launches it's long anticipated 'Business'09 - Win 10,000' campaign for small business and pre-entrepreneurs. The launch coincides with Global Entrepreneurship Week and Enterprise Week 2008.


    LONDON, UK, November 19, 2008 /United Kingdom News Articles/ -- WinWeb makes it's own 15th anniversary celebration into a 'start and run your own small business celebration', honoring individuals and small business owners, who have the courage to turn their dreams into reality.

WinWeb and It's Supporters & Sponsors have set themselves a Unleash It! Challenge until Global Entrepreneurship Week 2009, to be instrumental and inspire at least 1000 new business startups.

'We are recognizing the fact that small business makes up to 95 % of all businesses worldwide, generates over 50 % of GDP, a staggering 60 % of all innovations and have a long lasting positive impact on local communities world wide', says Stefan Töpfer, CEO of WinWeb.

The questions asked in the competition will provide an inside to entrepreneurs thinking prior to and after launching a small business. These findings will be published in a separate report later next year. Especially in these times of economic downturn it is essential to understand the motivation of 'would be small business owners', to foster an environment in which small business can flourish.

Encouraging small business owners and budding entrepreneurs with the inside that starting a small business often does not need money, but primarily time, is another way by which the campaign hopes to help in the creation of new small businesses.

WinWeb enlists the help of a high caliber panel chaired by Professor Ian Angell of the London School of Economics(LSE) along with media and small business professionals from Europe, the United States and Australia. WinWeb encourages media and new media, especially bloggers, to support the campaign and to help make it a success and reach WinWeb's goal of starting a minimum of a 1000 small business during the next twelve months. The independent panel will report in on the final number of small business startups during Global Entrepreneurship Week 2009.

'If our joint efforts would bring about the creation of only 1000 new small businesses worldwide, and I believe we can start many more, then this campaign will have been a great success for all involved, so we ask for as much support as possible. I would love to see this campaign to go viral, to maximize the benefits to society as a whole. This is our Unleash It! Challenge during Global Entrepreneurship Week 2008', says Stefan Töpfer. Details, on how to get involved, can be found on the campaign website under 'Support Us.'

Regular updates of the Business'09 Campaign will be available at the two official campaign blogs, the WinWeb Blog and The Small Business Blog and other supporting media and blogs.
