The scope of the ME4Change – Migrants Empowerment for Change –  project is to create, improve and provide wider dissemination of support schemes for young migrant entrepreneurs to help them becoming self-employed and building a successful enterprise (profit- generating or with social objectives). The idea is to bring together organisations from different countries where migration is having a peak and to develop together innovative solutions for migrants’ inclusion, in particular for youth willing to start a business / boost the growth of their startups.

The project goal is to create a vital eco-system where young migrants can exploit their opportunities, grow and build business skills to improve as entrepreneurs. Through a powerful, multidimensional training programme, including an innovative mentoring scheme offering the participant the opportunity of a short “on-the-job“ training on the mentor’s premises. As part of the mentoring scheme, the young entrepreneurs will have the chance to pitch in front of investors and relevant stakeholders during ad-hoc pitchingevents, which will have a transnational character.
