New ideas

I have decided to write a blog about my project to spread ideas, experiences and facts about what is going on.


Background

Kamprad Stiftelse has financed a two-year project to find out more immigrant entrepreneurs. Within this project, we focus on somali and other entrepreneurs and look at their life stories, experiences, background, education, work experience and motivations.

This project has started during 2015 and continues until October 2017. Practically, we are carried out interviews with entrepreneurs in Sweden, in the UK and in the USA. The interviews are mainly covering Somali entrepreneurs, as the amount of entrepreneurs in Sweden are much lower compared to other countries. There is even an indication of Somali-diaspora from Sweden and other Nordic countries to the UK and the USA.

Finding out what is behind this is the main project goal.



Who is engaged with the project?

Prof. Benny Carlson - Lunds University is the project leader.
Lek. Tobias Schölin - Lunds University
Prof. Pieter Bevelander - Malmö University - MIM
PhD Candidate Gabriela G. Andersson - Malmö University - MIM (Migration and Ethnic Relations)

This blog is going to be updated by Gabriela G. Andersson.
