Summary: The aim of this Project is to promote entrepreneurship among migrants and refugees, thus enabling them to integrate from a social and economic perspective. This is achieved through a series of holistic programmes for the creation and consolidation of firms in which new approaches and methodologies are applied.

The proposed actions are consistent with the Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan and good practices, and the broad categories presented in a Study on Good practices in Promoting and Supporting Migrant Entrepreneurship.

Also, this Project shall incorporate new dimensions and approaches aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, business growth and competitiveness.

The ultimate goal of this Project is to meet the social and economic needs of migrants on the basis of their cultural experience in entrepreneurship, as this will more swiftly and effectively help them integrate in our society through self-employment and social economy enterprises.
