Workshop on Refugee Entrepreneurship

23 May 2022 from 9.00 a.m. (CET) The Department of Small Business, Entrepreneurship and Business Creation (LEMEX) invites interested scholars to participate in this workshop on Refugee Entrepreneurship on May 23, 2022.

The number of refugees has increased significantly in recent years. The reasons for this are wars and disasters of various kinds, which force people to leave their homes, often completely unprepared. Entrepreneurship, whether formal or informal, is a way for many refugees to make a living in often precarious situations.

The context of refugee entrepreneurship differs in terms of limited choice of host country, lack of preparation, uncertain residence permits, or lack of socialization in the host country, among other factors. The goal of the workshop is to dive deeper into the realities of refugee entrepreneurship and discuss, among other things, the important facilitating and hindering factors of refugee entrepreneurship, support services, contextual factors and influences of networks.   

Please notify us of your intention to participate by April 14, 2022 by emailing freilingprotect me ?!uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de. The Call for Participation with more information on how to participate can be accessed here.
