Creating a level playing field
Our mission is to create a level playing field that enables migrants to start and grow a scalable business in Europe.
We do this with startup ecosystem, business support organisations and universities. We are a keen provider of data for researchers on migrant entrepreneurship.
Over time, we want to enable Europe to become the go-to location for ambitious migrants to start their business.
We all succeed when migrants succeed.
