Starting afresh: How entrepreneurship is transforming the lives of resettled refugees

In “Starting Afresh: How entrepreneurship is transforming the lives of resettled refugees”, the Centre puts forward a compelling case about why refugees make great entrepreneurs, how they can contribute to the UK as business-creators, and how guiding them towards entrepreneurship can reduce public spending and strengthen social integration.

The report offers tailored recommendations to government, business and the third sector about how best to harness the entrepreneurial potential of refugees: with a new strategic vision for resettlement, a mobilisation of the business community and the roll-out of refugee entrepreneurship programmes across the country (models of which we present in the report), the UK can make refugee resettlement a win-win situation.
