Mapping refugee & migrant entrepreneurship ecosystems in Europe

This study mapped key actors supporting newcomer entrepreneurs in 10 markets in Europe,  (Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the UK.) collecting practitioners’ insights on current capacities and barriers and selecting good practices. It highlights opportunities to strengthen support for newcomer entrepreneurs both at ecosystem and programme level.

The qualitative research was conducted from January to June 2020 through a desk review of academic and grey literature on refugee and migrant entrepreneurship. Impact Hubs conducted in-depth interviews with 35 entrepreneur, support organisations, foundations and government agencies across Europe.
