To sustain growth & innovation in NWE, we need enterprises in general incl. recognised refugees' (RR) starting enterprises. The project helps raising the numbers of RR starting in NWE by increasing entrepreneurship capacity of RR and the capacity of institutions dealing with RR. Target group are the 67% of 271.630 RR in NL, DE, IR, FR (Eurostat, 2017) who have a business background and the experience to restart. The project offers a social innovation addressing RR re-starters to become ready for business creation. RR with business experiences in their home country have a huge potential to restart but need specific mentoring to adopt to the NWE economy. The project develops a supportive environment of hubs, which function through mentoring as “door opener” for RR re-starters to enter existing entrepreneurial infrastructure. By door opening the project avoids parallel structures, but introduces RRs to how, by whom and where to get the tools they need to restart. The RR re-starters in NWE will be supported along the business phases stand-up, start-up and scaling and distinct from existing initiatives, with a focus on 4 sectors: health (especially care), crafts (especially manufacturing), ICT services, trade (sales representatives). These sectors reported recruitment bottlenecks (Cedefop, 2018). Different to other approaches, the project supports the RR restarters through a co-creative approach incl. a two-way integration path, and an opportunity-driven focus on entrepreneurship rather than necessity-based start-ups. Based on a transnational framework, each partner region will foster SI by a hub roll-out based on a transnational designed pilot hub. Outputs: Increased entrepreneurial capacity of 400 RR (proven by portfolio), 250 RR restarters with a business plan, 150 actually started (registered as business) of which 25 created self-employment, 4 new hubs in NWE, an inclusive, lasting entrepreneurship network, 4 multilingual transnationally developed podcasts.
