Fostering inclusive and social entrepreneurship in Switzerland.
The programme supports people with refugee and migrant background in starting their own business or social project in Switzerland, nurturing their talents and facilitating their path to social inclusion and economic integration.
The goals of the programme are to provide foundational skills in entrepreneurship and prototyping, preparing participants for market entry in Switzerland market (to delete) by expanding their local networks and equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to develop their business plan and start-up deck.
Delivered by external experts, the programme content is customised to meet the needs of individuals with refugee and migrant backgrounds aspiring to start their own ventures. Participants are integrated into our community and receive personalized mentoring as they progress towards market entry.
An essential aspect of the programme is the provision of personalised 1:1 mentoring, where entrepreneurs are paired with volunteer employees from corporate partners based on expertise, business requirements, and personal preferences. This matching process, facilitated by Capacity, ensures a mutually beneficial partnership. Mentors commit to dedicating at least four hours per month to support entrepreneurs, whether online or in person.
This collaboration cultivates solidarity, strengthens social cohesion, and fosters lasting personal connections within our expanding community of participants and volunteers.
We are currently developing our future programme and will gladly keep you updated as soon as we have news.
