Supporting businesses offers many opportunities. Migrants that are interested in starting up on their own, often have already experience with running a business in their home country. Migrant entrepreneurs nevertheless face numerous challenges in business creation in new places. These challenges include language and cultural barriers, as well as a lack of access to information and financing. Skills development is also key to encouraging entrepreneurship.
Ongoing actions of our projects include:
- Development and implementation of strategies and solutions that build on different business cultures and on all levels of education to improve entrepreneurial mind-sets and frameworks
- Fostering entrepreneurship and strengthen related skills
- Improving skills of the public and private sector as well as strengthening entrepreneurship including social entrepreneurship, coherently with priorities set in relevant national or regional smart specialisation strategies
