Newcomer Entrepreneurship Support (NES)
NES empowered incubators, accelerators and other entrepreneurship services to become more effective and inclusive by catering to the needs of newcomer entrepreneurs, with a focus on refugees and non-EU migrants. Organizations joining the network could tap into experiences from across Europe, learn about successful models and implement new activities. The two–year project was implemented in Frankfurt, Hamburg, London, Milan, Paris and Stockholm and was funded by J.P.Morgan.
