We’re gathering support to form a European Parliament Intergroup on Inclusive Entrepreneurship. Our mission: to ensure that entrepreneurship is a path open to all, regardless of gender, age, cultural background, or life experience.
The upcoming European elections create a chance for allies across Europe to collaborate and advocate for the prioritisation of inclusive entrepreneurship on the EU’s agenda. Whether you are a researcher, entrepreneur, NGO, business organisation or concerned citizen, everyone is invited to join our alliance for inclusive entrepreneurship and support our call for an intergroup.
According to the OECD, over 7.5 million entrepreneurs are missing from Europe.
We need to make entrepreneurship more inclusive.
It’s time to prioritise inclusive entrepreneurship.
This is our opportunity to promote inclusive entrepreneurship and amplify the voices of entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds in EU policy-making. Let’s challenge the status quo and encourage innovative ideas!
Together, we can craft inclusive entrepreneurship policies that pave the way for equal opportunities and collaboration across party lines, sectors, civil society groups, and policy domains. MEPs’ endorsement and backing are crucial to form this intergroup in the next legislative period.
With the support of MEPs from across the political spectrum, we can establish a powerful platform within the European Parliament dedicated to advancing inclusive entrepreneurship policies and fostering unity among different groups. Join the movement dedicated to building a more inclusive and equitable entrepreneurial landscape in Europe.
Craft a European Strategy for All Entrepreneurs: Develop a comprehensive European strategy that nurtures entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds, ensuring they have the resources and support needed to thrive.
Amplify Underrepresented Voices: Elevate the voices of underrepresented groups in the European Parliament, ensuring their perspectives shape entrepreneurship strategies at the highest levels of decision-making.
Break Down Barriers: Tackle the barriers faced by diverse groups in accessing entrepreneurship opportunities, addressing systemic inequalities and fostering an environment conducive to success.
Foster Collaboration: Facilitate collaboration between policymakers, entrepreneurs, businesses, and civil society actors across sectors and party lines, fostering synergy and innovation.
Promote Inclusive Narratives: Challenge stereotypes and promote more inclusive narratives surrounding migration and entrepreneurship, showcasing the positive contributions of diverse entrepreneurs to European society.
We are committed to a diverse, innovative and sustainable start-up landscape and positively emphasize the potential of start-ups and workers with a migration background in society.
We firmly believe in innovation through migration.
At New Women Connectors (NWC), a movement led by migrant and refugee women, we harness our shared experiences to drive change.
We connect refugees and migrants with decision-makers to transform policies affecting our lives.
An Intergroup on Inclusive Entrepreneurship is vital to empower displaced individuals, particularly women, ensuring their voices and contributions lead to a more inclusive and prosperous Europe.
Migration made cities and still does. The future is built together, it’s intercultural rather than monocultural.
By embracing inclusivity, we can tap into the potential of migrant entrepreneurs and ensure that diverse voices and innovative ideas flourish, ultimately leading to a stronger, more resilient economy that benefits everyone.
Encourage your local MEP to support the intergroup.
