<< Background >>Since 2015, migration has risen high on the agendas of governments and development partners, following its historic inclusion in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and as a response to large flows of migrants and refugees that have occurred in different parts of the world. In September 2016, governments adopted the New York Declaration, which calls for strengthening international cooperation on migration and forced displacement and forthe development and adoption of two collaborative instruments – a global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration, and a global compact on refugees. Both compacts emphasize the issue of socioeconomic integration of both migrants and refugees, including through support to self-employment and entrepreneurship. They are based on the premise that migrants and refugees can contribute positively to the development of communities back at home or in their new places of residence, provided that their skills, capabilities and entrepreneurial spirit – often acquired in migration – are given sufficient support and recognition.<< Objectives >>- to support the entrepreneurship of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees- to involved professionals from business and social areas in educational communities for inclusive entrepreneurship- to identify business opportunities for migrants, asylum seekers and refugees- to design and implement a digital environment for business incubation and mentoring- to develop a application for financial and legal assessment of new entrepreneurs with migrant or refugee background<< Implementation >>PR1 - Methodological toolkit to involve business professionals in incubation programmes: those professionals will participate as trainers or mentors in mentoring programs fostering the entrepreneurship of migrants, asylum seekers and refugees.
