These were 2 intense days for me: It was the first time meeting the MAGNET project team on February 19th 2018 for the project meeting day and on February 20th the first MAGNET Network Forum followed, one out of 4 network forums, which will be held in different European cities to engage stakeholders in supporting migrant entrepreneurship in a network – because from working together, great things can emerge! MAGNET is co-funded by the European Union (COSME funding scheme<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The MAGNET Project Team – it was great to finally meeting you face-to-face! \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

The First Network Forum<\/h2>\n

The discussion topic of the first network forum was “Identifying common issues and challenges of Migrant Entrepreneurship Support and the role of entrepreneurial skills” and we heard great presentations from Gudrun Biffl<\/a> (Danube University Krems) ,\u00a0Fulvia Farinelli<\/a> from UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development\u00a0<\/b>“Prosperity for All”)<\/a>, Tina Gruber-M\u00fccke<\/a> (IMC Krems). Characteristics and challenges of migrant entrepreneurship were discussed and I found it especially interesting that there is a gender gap in migrant entrepreneurship, as many female migrants are mainly responsible for unpaid labour and caring for the family – being a crucial backbone and also success factor of the businesses of their male relatives.<\/p>\n

CARamel – A Viennese Example of Migrant Entrepreneurship<\/h2>\n

Also, very interesting and impressing was the presentation by the migrant business CARamel<\/a>, a sustainable and mobile car clearning service (B2B), based in Vienna, talking about how they developed and that they are facing major challenges right now and struggeling with keeping the company up. You can support them at the SozialMarie Voting<\/a>!<\/p>\n
