Boosting Migrant Entrepreneur Networks:

An online conference throughout September 2020
Diesis Network invites you to the final online event of the EMEN project, in collaboration with M-UP and MAGNET

Make your September count.

After months of lockdown that has disproportionately affected the world’s disadvantaged communities, especially those with their own businesses to run, the need to support these people is more important than ever. The Growing Europe online conference brings together migrants, refugees, policy makers, NGOs and the private sector to focus on ‘Boosting Migrant Entrepreneurship Networks’.

Day 3: Inclusive entrepreneurship
17 September, 14:30 – 16:40

One of the biggest challenge to migrants opening businesses is bureaucracy, European countries are rife with slow processes and policy mindfields.

Join breakout sessions about the opportunities in digitisation and the potential of refugee-led businesses.

Day 4: Future and potential of migrant entrepreneurship
24 September, 14:30 – 16:30

The fourth and final Growing Europe online conference session focuses on the future of migrant entrepreneurship in Europe. Join a discussion about collaboration in the era of recession due to Covid-19 and economic instability across Europe. Breakout sessions discuss shifting narratives around migrant entrepreneurship, and the opportunities that entrepreneurship presents for women migrants to join the labour market.
