How will you help young people with business ideas but no money to start?
I am determined to expand transparent access to finance for young entrepreneurs, artisans, farmers, technology founders and people working in the creative economy. Your surname, your political connections, or whether you can find a godfather, should not decide whether your idea gets a chance to succeed. As part of this, we will put in place a financing programme for start-ups and entrepreneurs, so you can move from dependence to enterprise, from unemployment to productivity.

Your surname, your political connections, or whether you can find a godfather, should not decide whether your idea gets a chance to succeed.
