Entrepreneurship and refugees – Experience and best practice in Denmark
Entrepreneurship and refugees – Experience and best practice in Denmark
Abstract
Entrepreneurship nowadays is an important topic worldwide for sustainable economic growth and self-development. It is argued that entrepreneurs, who literally started from scratch, are unique and creative people who propose and implement innovative inventions and business solutions. However, entrepreneurship is not only about business and economy growth it is also about self-development, unleashing creativity and most importantly exceeding entrepreneurs’ limits.
The objective of this seminar is to present and discuss experiences of refugees as entrepreneurs in Denmark. The Association to Promote Entrepreneurship Among Refugees in Denmark and F.I.B.F will discuss refugees’ challenges, opportunities and experience for developing their entrepreneurship skill in Denmark. We hope that you will join this unique and interesting opportunity to advance our understanding on Entrepreneurship and refugees in Denmark.
