About the webinars
The EMEN project will organise a series of three webinars on the three main aspects of business development: financial, human & social capital. The webinars will cover many topics that are relevant to both organizations that provide business support, as well as Migrant Entrepreneurs themselves.
Networks for better Migrant Entrepreneurial Support: Do we need a European Ecosystem?
20th of November – From 5 to 6 PM
Organisations and experts in the field of migrant entrepreneurship are very much dependent on strong local networks of public organisations, coaches & mentors and local communities. In addition, understanding the national legal and institutional framework as well as having access to local public funding are crucial. While other Business Support communities (i.e. Social Business) continue to internationalise, the migrant entrepreneurial ecosystem stays rather fragmented with merely little transnational exchange on the European stage.
With the third Webinar of our EMEN-Series, we will take a critical look at the importance of transnational cooperation in our migrant entrepreneurial sector. We will shed light on the pros and cons of the past support of the EC in this field, and will discuss good practices and identify possible future fields of intervention.
