The European project “Newcomer Entrepreneurship Support“ (NES), 2020/21, is coordinated by the Migration Policy Group (MPG), Brussels, and supported by JP Morgan Chase Foundation. It aims at empowering incubators, accelerators and other entrepreneurship services to become more effective and inclusive with respect to the specific needs of new immigrant entrepreneurs – including refugees – in the metropolitan areas of Milan, Frankfurt, Hamburg, London, Paris and Stockholm.

Planned activities involve mobilising service providers, knowledge production and dissemination of successful practices, also taking into account the impacts of Covid-19 pandemic in the five European countries concerned.

EXPECTED RESULTS

The expected impact of the above activities will have a twofold advantage

  • on the one hand, the creation of synergies between the incubators and the mapped accelerators will be encouraged and they will be made aware of the potential areas of improvement of the services they provide, thus strengthening their ability to compete on the market
  • on the other hand, new migrant entrepreneurs will directly benefit from a more efficient and integrated support system for a successful entrepreneurial path.
