More than 72,000 students from more than 1,200 schools kick off the fifth annual Enterprise Week by conceiving thousands of money making ideas that are also environmentally friendly.

Business volunteers and members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants for England and Wales will be on hand at many schools for students to pick their brains.

"A thriving, can-do enterprise culture is part of what makes Britain a great place to do business. Global Entrepreneurship Week is important because it inspires a whole new generation of budding entrepreneurs to turn their ideas into reality," said Sir Alan Sugar.

The event last year was attended by just under 650,000 people in the UK and this year's event will see workshops and speeches up and down the country.
