Workshop Series: Inclusive Entrepreneurship

Discover how to make your incubation services more inclusive and supportive of entrepreneurs from underrepresented groups.

Organised by Better Incubation from March – June 2022

EBN together with the partners in the Better Incubation project – Impact Hub and EVPA, offers new workshop series on inclusive entrepreneurship, designed to support professionals working for the business support organisations, with responsibility for creating and implementing entrepreneur incubation services or support programs.

EU|BIC members can benefit from the workshop sessions as follows :

• Get inspiration by a range of best practices and insights related to specific underrepresented groups;
• Be connected with like-minded peers, with whom you can learn from and collaborate with;
• Enable modification of your services with knowledge and methodologies you can implement your teams.
• We start the workshop series with an exploration of common cultural and structural barriers facing groups underrepresented in the enterprise sector, taking a more intersectional perspective before moving on to deep dives on specific groups, offering inspiration and guidance based on actions and methodologies already successfully implemented on the ground across Europe, to support implementation of inclusive practice.

Who should you expect?

Introduction to Inclusive Entrepreneurship
Join a panel of impact sector leaders to explore cross-cutting barriers to underrepresented groups in the enterprise sector, and participate in a discussion about what has been and can be done to change things for the better and to create a just and inclusive economy. You will also connect with and learn from peers from other business support organisations.

Panel: Max Bulakovskiy, Policy Analyst, OECD; Tatiana Glad, Executive Director, Impact Hub Network; Shannon Pfohman, Policy & Advocacy Director, Caritas Europa.

Inclusive Entrepreneurship Deep Dives
The next five workshops will each focus on a specific underrepresented group – Migrants & refugees; Women; Youth; Seniors; People with disabilities. Each workshop will create a safe and supportive space to offer inspiration and guidance for business support organisations, based on actions and methodologies already successfully implemented on the ground across Europe, to support the implementation of inclusive practice.

You will learn from subject matter experts, social entrepreneurs with lived experiences of the challenges being explored, and business support organisations leading the way in developing and delivering inclusive incubation services. Line-ups for each workshop will be announced soon.
