Webinars on immigrant entrepreneurship

February 19, 2020

The Network for immigrant entrepreneurs to scale and grow (M-UP), funded by the European Union’s COSME program and of which Autoocupació is a member, held a series of webinars in February to guide professionals in designing, adapting, and delivering their support programs for immigrant entrepreneurs more effectively.

The series consisted of three webinars dedicated to different areas of immigrant entrepreneurship programs: training, access to finance, and mentoring. They were delivered on February 4, 11, and 18 respectively by expert speakers in the field: Chris Massey, Klaas Molenaar, and Bob Garvey.

These one-hour sessions allowed participants to resolve doubts and questions about the differences these types of programs should have, as well as to share their experiences with experts and practitioners from other European institutions.
