INCLUSIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP ALLIANCE CAMPAIGN
We’re gathering support to form a alliance for inclusive entrepreneurship. Our mission: to ensure that entrepreneurship is a path open to all, regardless of gender, age, cultural background, or life experience.
The new political term of the European Union creates a chance for allies across Europe to come together 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.
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.
With the support of policymakers from different pro-European, we can establish an impactful platform involving civil society,
researchers, entrepreneurial networks, decision-makers and policy experts dedicated to advancing inclusive entrepreneurship policies and fostering connections between different groups. Join the movement dedicated to building a more inclusive and equitable entrepreneurial landscape in Europe.
Why an alliance?
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.
