Inspired by


Welcome to 'If we can you can Talk' - inspired by the Entrepreneurs' Forum, the place where young people in the North East can share stories, advice and ideas about business and getting off the ground. It doesn't matter whether you're just a bit curious, you’ve dabbled with an enterprise competition, you’re fixing your mates computers to make some extra cash or you've already got a successful business and a personalised number plate - explore the site, share your views and find out how young entrepreneurs are making their mark all over the North East. We'll use the blog to add interviews and features on people we've met - feel free to add to it. Or get involved in the forum to share ideas and experiences.

And we'll be adding video of entrepreneurs we've filmed at various conferences as well as serialising an exciting documentary over the coming months.
