Supporting Entrepreneurship
Supporting refugee entrepreneurs and small businesses

Refugees are known to be exceptionally entrepreneurial, thanks to their resilience, drive and strong work ethic. Companies can support refugee entrepreneurs and small businesses by providing loans, offering training programs or incubators, and facilitating their access to market. The benefits of supporting refugee entrepreneurs go beyond one individual – as refugee-owned businesses grow, they also create new jobs and help grow the economy.
