Enterprise Insight is fostering an entrepreneurial spirit in the UK, by stimulating and encouraging enterprise attitudes, culture and values primarily in young people and those who influence them.

Enterprise Insight was created in 2000 as a company limited by guarantee. The three founder members are: the British chambers of commerce, the Institute of Directors and the CBI. The Federation of Small Businesses is also a member.

An advisory board provides guidance on Enterprise Insight's operations and campaign functions. Members of the advisory board include some of the UK's principal enterprise education and awareness delivery organisations.
