Yesterday, MEECOE ran a successful workshop in Birmingham which focussed on working with New Migrant businesses. Starting point was filling a knowledge gap regarding entrepreneurs from New Migrant communities. Who sets up new businesses and why? In what sectors of the economy are they concentrated? What factors promote or retard business formation? How many new jobs are being created and what are these jobs like?
Attendees represented many different stakeholders from business owners, policy makers to business support networks. As such the lively debate brought up some key issues for the research to focus on.
To gain further insight some one-to-one interviews will follow. These will allow the research to be steered toward and focussed on the crucial issues which were brought up by stakeholder themselves.
