Online presentation of the report: Humans at the center: How social entrepreneurs with a migrant background are making a difference

As experienced professionals, social entrepreneurs with a migrant background implement effective solutions that put humans at the center, leading to long-term benefits for migrants and their host communities. 

This report, made by Esade in collaboration with Ashoka Hello Europe, wants to shine a light on their unique approach by taking the perspective of migrants as an opportunity instead of a threat, in order to see what we can learn from them. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, there is an increased risk of migrants and refugees being marginalized as countries heavily restrict the flow of people.  There is an urgent need for inclusive solutions that recognize our interconnectedness. Solutions that empower people and unleash their untapped potential will make the difference we need to move forward.

Based on our research findings, we make ten recommendations to build an eco-system for impact where social entrepreneurs with a migrant background are supported and their impact is amplified.
