Covid-19 crisis will lead to a strong rise in unemployment.
With data and bold policies cities can turn this around and weather the storm.
We gather best practice and data to help cities to thrive.
Cities are key drivers of economic growth. They generate over 68 percent of EUs GDP today. Right now, because of the Covid-19 recession, many cities will be in danger of failing. When cities fail, so will regions and nations. At Startup Migrants we map the best city policies for entrepreneurship and migration.
The people who can least afford to lose their jobs are the ones who’ll be hit the fastest and the hardest. Our findings show, that for many, especially migrants, entrepreneurship will be the way out. With bold policies and data-driven decisions cities can help new businesses to grow and create new jobs faster. The better the policies, the less unemployment, less crime and social costs. With informed decisions cities will thrive.
Our data is collected from 15 countries, 45 cities and over 200 in depth interviews with policy makers, entrepreneurs, NGOs and migrant founders. Reach out to us if your city need insight in best practice for migration and innovation in Europe.
